The Littler COVID-19 Testing Collection is a suite of template documents to be used to develop a comprehensive and legally compliant COVID-19 testing program, including testing protocols; a testing policy; template vendor contract language addressing safety, privacy, and information security; and employee notice, consent and authorization forms.
The Collection is designed to help employers structure their testing programs to mitigate risks and add address key legal issues. The legal issues are numerous and complex, including restrictions imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act, compliance with OSHA safety and recordkeeping requirements, addressing HIPAA and other privacy concerns, and determining employer's wage payment obligations for testing-related wait and travel time.
To expedite the document-creation process, Littler’s COVID-19 Testing Subgroup has developed an online questionnaire that employers complete to obtain immediate and actionable recommendations from an experienced Littler attorney on how to customize the key compliance documents to meet the employer’s objectives.
