As measures are relaxed, staff and patrons may all have additional questions. be sure that your staff are well informed of the current requirements and that management is able to address any concerns or questions that may arise. Employers still maintain their obligations under Health and Safety legislation. As well, various legislated clauses, such as those in the ESA will remain in effect until the "COVID -19" period ends. The temporary ESA rules are currently set to end on July 30, 2022.
