Telework
Securing Remote Workforce
Securing Remote Workforce
 Volume and sophistication of socially engineered attacks
increasing—playing on fears, panic, and emotional stress
 Technology departments are losing control of end-user
environments—workstations missing critical software,
patches, and proactive toolsets found on most corporate
equipment
 Home-based users may not have company issued devices
with sophisticated security configurations
 Ready or not: BYOD devices must connect to your network
and your sensitive data
 Cybersecurity unpreparedness catching many off-guard
 Privacy implications now front and center as more employee-
owned devices connect to business networks

Qualified Health Plan Expenses (IRS FAQ 31)
• Employer Cost
• Employee Cost Paid with Pre-Tax salary reduction contributions
• Cost paid with after tax contribution is not eligible
• HRA/ health FSA - amount specific to a particular employee
• Does not include employer contributions to HSAs, Archer MSA, QSEHRA

FFCRA
Fully-Insured - any reasonable method to determine & allocate plan expenses (IRS-
FAQ 33)

• Substantially similar method taking into account employee only vs other
than employee only coverage

Example: An Eligible Employer sponsors an insured group health plan that covers
400 employees, some with self-only coverage and some with family coverage.
Each employee is expected to have 260 work days a year. (Five days a week for 52
weeks.)
The employees contribute a portion of their premium by pre-tax salary reduction,
with different amounts for self-only and family.
The total annual premium for the 400 employees is $5.2 million. (This includes both
the amount paid by the Eligible Employer and the amounts paid by employees
through salary reduction.)
FFCRA
For an Eligible Employer using one average premium rate for all employees, the
average annual premium rate is $5.2 million divided by 400, or $13,000.
For each employee expected to have 260 work days a year, this results in a daily
average premium rate equal to $13,000 divided by 260, or $50.
That $50 is the amount of qualified health expenses allocated to each day of paid
sick or family leave per employee.

• $5000 Leave wages paid

• Americans with Disabilities Act – March 19th Updates
The EEOC has provided guidance in a publication entitled Pandemic
Preparedness in the Workplace and the Americans With Disabilities Act, that
can help employers implement strategies to navigate the impact of COVID-
19 in the workplace. It has been updated to address examples and focus on
implementing strategies for keeping workplaces safes during the COVID-19
pandemic. Some of the updates include:
• Employers can send an employee home with COVID-19 or symptoms
associated with it.
• Employers may ask employees who report feeling ill questions about
their symptoms to determine if they may have COVID-19.
• Employers may measure employees’ body temperature.
ADA
• Americans with Disabilities Act – March 19th Updates
• Employers should continue to provide reasonable accommodations for
employees and address new requests as soon as possible.
• Employers may screen job applicants for symptoms of COVID-19 after
making a conditional job offer.
• Employers are allowed to take an applicant’s temperature as part of a
post-offer
• Employers may delay the start date of an applicant who has COVID-19
or associated symptoms. The job offer may also be withdrawn if the
start date needs to be immediate and the individual cannot safely begin
working due to COVID-19.

I-9 Review Requirement Changes - Effective March 20th
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it will relieve
employers from having to review Form I-9 documents in-person with new employees. The
change applies to employers and workplaces that are operating completely remotely. Physical
Documentation review will not be excused if the employee is working onsite. Make sure to
document the reason for the physical inspection delay as “COVID-19” in the Section 2
additional information field .
Once normal operations start up again all employees onboarded using remote verification
must report to their employer within three business days for in-person verification of their
identity and eligibility documentation. When the documents have been physically inspected,
make sure to update the files to read "documents physically examined" with the date of
inspection in the Section 2 additional information field.
These changes may be implemented by employers for a period of 60 days or within 3 days of the
National Emergency being lifted.

  • 22. 4/3/2020 22 Example: An Eligible Employer sponsors an insured group health plan that covers 400 employees, some with self-only coverage and some with family coverage. Each employee is expected to have 260 work days a year. (Five days a week for 52 weeks.) The employees contribute a portion of their premium by pre-tax salary reduction, with different amounts for self-only and family. The total annual premium for the 400 employees is $5.2 million. (This includes both the amount paid by the Eligible Employer and the amounts paid by employees through salary reduction.) FFCRA For an Eligible Employer using one average premium rate for all employees, the average annual premium rate is $5.2 million divided by 400, or $13,000. For each employee expected to have 260 work days a year, this results in a daily average premium rate equal to $13,000 divided by 260, or $50. That $50 is the amount of qualified health expenses allocated to each day of paid sick or family leave per employee. FFCRA 43 44

Some of the updates include: • Employers can send an employee home with COVID-19 or symptoms associated with it. • Employers may ask employees who report feeling ill questions about their symptoms to determine if they may have COVID-19. • Employers may measure employees’ body temperature. ADA • Americans with Disabilities Act – March 19th Updates • Employers should continue to provide reasonable accommodations for employees and address new requests as soon as possible. • Employers may screen job applicants for symptoms of COVID-19 after making a conditional job offer. • Employers are allowed to take an applicant’s temperature as part of a post-offer • Employers may delay the start date of an applicant who has COVID-19 or associated symptoms.

The change applies to employers and workplaces that are operating completely remotely. Physical Documentation review will not be excused if the employee is working onsite. Make sure to document the reason for the physical inspection delay as “COVID-19” in the Section 2 additional information field . Once normal operations start up again all employees onboarded using remote verification must report to their employer within three business days for in-person verification of their identity and eligibility documentation. When the documents have been physically inspected, make sure to update the files to read "documents physically examined" with the date of inspection in the Section 2 additional information field. These changes may be implemented by employers for a period of 60 days or within 3 days of the National Emergency being lifted. I-9 Review 63 64
