COVID-19 Human Resources Toolkit: Model Forms, Policies and Templates for Employers 

During the COVID-19 crisis, the Labor & Employment Department at Cozen O’Connor has been working to produce forms, templates, and policies to guide employers through the maze of new regulations and local requirements. We have now compiled all of these critical documents into one toolkit. While some portions can be used as is, we recommend that each of these documents be reviewed carefully to determine whether they should be appropriately customized to your company’s unique business and workforce, as well as to any changes in applicable law at the time a document may be used.
