Early on in the COVID crisis, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“ EEOC ”) issued a guidance for employers regarding the impact of the pandemic on workforce-related topics.

The guidance is wide-ranging and answers questions on issues ranging from confidentiality of medical information to furloughs — and pretty much everything in between.
