Dean Rocco (Partner-Los Angeles) will present a legal perspective regarding the possibility of  cannabis industry workforce reductions due to the COVID-19 pandemic at a March 31, 2020, webinar. The sponsor of the event is Würk, a company providing cannabis software and services to manage people. The discussion centers on Work Share Programs, where available, which allow employees to keep working, but with fewer hours. Topics include how Work Share Programs help reduce unemployment, what states currently offer a Work Share Program, whether your business qualifies for Work Share, advantages of Work Share Programs for your business and your employees, and the impact on health insurance and the possibility for employees to collect part of their regular unemployment benefits. The discussion will conclude with a brief discussion of the Families First Coronavirus Act and how it can affect cannabis businesses.
