Introduction:

  • Contracts and letters of appointment will have to be reworked and amended to incorporate new terms, or to amend existing ones, inclusive of policies and procedures.

  • Work from home (WFH) special conditions will require amendments to incorporate working remotely as well as to make provision for new issues that have become prominent since the onset of the pandemic.

  • In addition, contentious and difficult issues and contract clauses related to various facets of employment, inclusive of medical testing, compulsory vaccinations, electronic surveillance, and employee privacy, will be concisely and professionally dealt with.
