This webinar discusses Governor Northam’s executive order #63 to create an Emergency Temporary Standard as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall purpose: establish requirements for employers to control, prevent, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among employees and other persons (including customers).
Virginia’s 2020 General Assembly session enacted significant changes to many laws impacting the construction industry. Substantial new funding now exists for construction projects, but may be impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Many of the new laws impact public contracting with state and local governments, CM at risk thresholds, risk allocation in contracts and subcontracts, statutes of limitation, liability for unpaid employee wages, employee misclassification, project labor agreements, and subcontractor relations.
How can you prepare to deal with this changing landscape? What do you need to do to adapt to the new laws?
