The Rise in Back to Work Lawsuits
Presented by McGrannLAW and SwiftCheck
Say goodbye to FCRA class action lawsuits and hello to Back to Work class action lawsuits. COVID-19 employer related lawsuits are on the rise and employers are beginning to face a new legal challenge in uncharted waters. Beyond the massive impact that COVID-19 has had on the workplace, it is becoming critical that human resource departments understand the latest pitfalls related to Back to Work lawsuits and how to avoid them.
During this presentation, Owen McGrann will present on the topic points that have been set forth on behalf of the SwiftCheck legal counsel. Key points and learning objectives:
- Reviewing the latest 2020 OHSA requirements and active Back to Work litigation proceedings.
- Discuss employers’ rights’, what they look like today and what they could look like with congressional intervention.
- Reviewing the rise in retaliation lawsuits and how to prevent them.
- Examine relative pre-pandemic employer litigation to help navigate future cases.
- Understanding the penalties for not providing proper employee leave.
- Examples of how employers are protecting both their employees and themselves from Back to Work related lawsuits.
- How to prepare your organization in the event of a “second wave”.

About Swiftcheck:
Comprised of 27 years in the background check industry, the team at SwiftCheck established a background check company with a goal to provide HR professionals with the right resources to help them achieve success. Headquartered in Cranberry Township, PA we know what it means to work hard for our clients.
We have worked to circumvent issues such as slow turnaround-times, HR technology needs, compliance issues and more. We set to change the industry and give employers what they really want: a swift, technology driven, accurate background check report. Our personal relationships with customers not only give us insight into deeper customer solutions, but ensure them that we are their confidant in their day-to-day operations. We understand that our underlying role is to offer fast and accurate background check reports, but we don’t want to ever end a call that does not result in a smile on your face. We’ve replaced the pain-staking, issue-ridden, background check process with a swift enjoyable experience.
