Counsel Christy Phanthavong was quoted May 13 by Law360 concerning the rise in vaccination rates and the decline in infections in the U.S., giving businesses an optimistic outlook on returning operations to normal. Experts say workers still struggle to manage the COVID-19 crisis and continued requests for virus-related leave should be expected."COVID-related leave can be pretty broad, so if it's just general issues that are caused by the pandemic, those are still happening despite the vaccinations," Phanthavong said. "Employers need to be very clear with their employees about what their expectations are with respect to return-to-work and leave."
