As issues and concerns around COVID-19 (coronavirus) continue to impact community associations, Hill Wallack stands at the ready to help Boards and Managers prepare to address the threat as it relates to the health and safety of association employees.

We realize many of you are dealing with issues you have never encountered before. Over the past several weeks, we have fielded questions from boards, property managers and association vendors related to how COVID-19 is impacting their associations and businesses, and we have developed response plans for associations and businesses statewide. Please reach out to me or a member of our Community Association Department to receive specific information regarding your association or business and geographic region. We are closely monitoring and updating our information as the situation continues to evolve.

We have compiled links to important resources to help answer some of the most common questions. 

Feel free to contact Hill Wallack with regard to your specific employment law questions. We are here to help you.
