WATERTOWN â The Tug Hill Commission will provide a free webinar on the new state Public Employer Mandatory Emergency Plan requirement at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 29.
On Labor Day, Governor Cuomo signed legislation requiring all public employers to create contingency operations plans to protect public workers in future health emergencies. Jurisdictions with employees represented by a labor union must have a draft completed by Feb. 4, 2021 for submission to those unions and final plans are required to be completed and on file with the municipality by April 1, 2021.
The plan requirements include:
â Protocols which will enable non-essential employees to work remotely;
â A description of how work shifts may be staggered to reduce overcrowding;
