March 20, 2020 5:00 pm Human Resources & Staff Management | Practice Finances Human Resources and Staff Management The human resources consulting organization CAI, a Curi partner, has compiled a “Coronavirus Command Center” full of resources that can help you with employee management and other human resources issues during this crisis. Of special interest, they have just published a guide to the HR implications of the new federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), including issues of paid and emergency leave, furloughs and layoffs, and FMLA. News & Knowledge All Curi recommendations are based on current CDC criteria at the time of publication. CDC guidance for SARS-CoV-2 infection may, or may not, be adopted by state and local health departments to respond to rapidly changing local circumstances. Providers should always check with their local health department to see if the CDC’s guidance on any given topic has been modified (particularly if more restrictive) from the CDC’s recommended guidelines. Follow this link https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories/index.html for contact information to your state/local health department. If local recommendations vary from those of the CDC, and you are unsure what recommendations to follow, then it is safer to follow the more restrictive guidelines/recommendations.
