Michigan employers – have you formally designated your employee(s) that are allowed to leave home to work?
Governor Whitmer’s “Stay at Home” Executive Order [No. 2020-21] requires businesses and operations to designate in writing on or before March 31, 2020 those workers “necessary to conduct minimum basic operations” and “inform such workers of that designation.”
“For purposes of this order, workers who are necessary to conduct minimum basic operations are those whose in-person presence is strictly necessary to allow the business or operation to maintain the value of inventory and equipment, care for animals, ensure security, process transactions (including payroll and employee benefits), or facilitate the ability of other workers to work remotely.”
Please do not hesitate to contact Mort Noveck or Bob Sosin at 248-642-3200 if you have any questions about compliance with the Governor’s Order, or if you have any other questions regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on your business.
