Employers May Test Employees for COVID-19 Before Allowing Them Back to Work EEOC has announced that employers may administer COVID-19 testing to employees to determine if they have the virus, before allowing them to return to work.

A special Thank You to our three clients this week for the lovely holiday gifts and for expressing your love and appreciation for what we do. Happy holidays to our friends, family and supporters.

We love the end of the year!! It's an absolutely crazy time. However, it's also the time when clients whose cases we have resolved in this past year and sometimes in the several previous years reach out to say hello and express their love and appreciation for what we have done for them and their families. I am touched and honored by the outpouring of love from my current and former clients. Just today alone we received these three lovely packages from three separate clients. This makes me feel great about what we do.

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a safe and relaxing holiday
