The Legal Risk Score of a COVID-19 Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document lacks specific details on the number of recovery days required before an employee can return to work after contracting COVID-19, which might lead to inconsistent application of the policy.
- The policy mentions disinfecting frequently touched areas and surfaces every unspecified number of days, which could result in inadequate cleaning protocols if not clearly defined.
- While the policy encourages employees to seek mental health support, it does not specify available resources or how the company will facilitate access to these services, potentially leaving employees without clear guidance.
