COVID-19 Workforce Management Considerations for Not-for-Profit Employers

Abstract

The recent outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has recently been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

Beyond being a deep humanitarian challenge, the spread of the virus presents significant challenges for global and domestic organisations. Employers are preparing for scenarios encompassing sick employees, employees who may have been exposed to increased risk of infection, and risk of infection associated with working practices.

In this guide, we examine some of the key legal issues for employers in the non-for-profit (NFP) sector as they consider how to best meet this global challenge, focusing on considerations that may
be more specific to the non-for-profit sector (e.g. volunteers).
