For many cities in Washington, COVID-19 has brought a bustling workforce at city hall to a quiet and essential murmur. As communities navigate their way back to the new normal, assess the economic damage, and contemplate difficult workforce decisions, it will be important that you and your city have relevant information on continuation of employee benefits, unemployment issues, and laws around all the different types of leave to craft a sound strategy. View this AWC webinar exploring key information to help you to work your way through the difficult decisions ahead. This webinar will keep you updated on the pandemic and how it can impact your organization.
