Coronavirus/COVID-19

Companies, employees and families across Ohio and the world are facing unprecedented challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic.  In turn, there is a lot of information on how to address workplace issues filling our inboxes and the airwaves.  We have created this resource page as a compass to help human resource professionals and companies across Ohio navigate these uncharted waters.  If you need additional assistance we recommend you work with your legal counsel, accountant, or consulting firm.
