I often write that a good enterprise risk management plan needs input from the legal staff (in-house or external).
An article on the Advisen FPN site (http://tinyurl.com/28otd8x) titled Natural Disasters (from Mondaq.com), lists concerns linked to the following legal issues:
- The Fair Labor Standards Act
- The Family and Medical Leave Act
- The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
- The Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Tax Relief
- The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
- The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- The Americans with Disabilities Act
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- The National Labor Relations Act
- The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act
- Immigration Issues
- Insurance Issues
It is worth the time to read and worth the time to discuss the issues with HR and legal experts.
And you thought all a business continuity planner needs to know is IT. ;-)
Go forth and make friends with the folks in HR and get to know the lawyers, too.
