EEOC Updates COVID-19 Technical Assistance

As we previously discussed here (“EEOC Provides COVID-19 Guidance Via Webinar (Part I of II)”), here (“EEOC Provides COVID-19 Guidance Via Webinar (Part II)”) and here (“EEOC Updates COVID-19 Technical Assistance”), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") has previously addressed several employment practice concerns throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this fall, the EEOC released an updated technical assistance document, “What You Should Know About COVID-19 and the ADA, Rehabilitation Act, and Other EEO Laws” (“Updated Guidance”). With the current surge we are experiencing and vaccines on the near-term horizon, this Updated Guidance is as important as ever.
