Although the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel” appears to be on the horizon, new changes continue to arise, creating a complex landscape for employers in 2021.

In this one-hour webinar presented by McDonald Hopkins, employment attorneys Jim Boutrous and Karina Conley will provide practical guidance on some of the main issues healthcare employees have faced and can expect to face in the ever evolving COVID-19 era.
