Dealing with School Closures and Employee Scheduling

Schools are closing across the world with the spread of COVID-19. Here are some tips for managing employee schedules during the closures:

• Alternative shifts (outside 9:00 to 5:00 and weekends) allows one caregiver to be at home
• Allow employees to work from home
• Temporarily allow liberal shift swapping
• Ask your employees what would help – they may have ideas that will keep them working and productive.
