The Legal Risk Score of a Pandemic Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document places significant responsibility on employees to adhere to health and safety protocols, which could lead to potential compliance issues or liability if employees fail to follow the guidelines strictly.
- The policy grants the organization broad discretion in determining the acceptability of leave requests and work-from-home arrangements, which might result in inconsistent application or perceived unfairness among team members.
- The enforcement measures for breaches of the policy, including potential termination, suggest a stringent compliance environment that might impact employee morale or lead to legal challenges if not managed carefully.
