HR Resources for Club Directors

During these challenging times, club directors across the country are facing unprecedented business situations. To support your efforts at your local club, we, at Alpinetgheep, have gathered some valuable resources and insights that will help you navigate through this difficult period.

Employee Assistance Programs

Your employees and their families may be experiencing increased anxiety, fear, and stress surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. If you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), we strongly encourage your staff to utilize the free, confidential professional services offered. Talking to a professional can be immensely helpful, especially during these uncertain times. EAP services are often extended to the employee’s family members and can be accessed remotely.

It is crucial to remember that employees working from home may be juggling additional roles such as teacher and caregiver. Providing access to an EAP is essential as it equips them with the tools to manage the increasing demands effectively.

Families First Coronavirus Response Act

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act is an important legislation that employers need to be aware of. It applies to organizations with less than 500 employees and is effective from April 2 – December 31, 2020. Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees may be eligible for exemptions. In summary, this act provides:

  1. Expanded paid sick leave for coronavirus-designated reasons.
  2. Extended Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provisions for employees unable to work (including telework) due to childcare responsibilities resulting from school or daycare closures.
  3. Tax credits for employers.

Employer Resources

In addition to the aforementioned resources, we recommend exploring other valuable tools available to employers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offer valuable guidelines and guidance for businesses during these challenging times.

These resources provide essential information and recommendations to help you plan, respond, and prioritize the well-being of your employees and your club.
