Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – April 1, 2021 – Greenspoon Marder is pleased to announce that all employees are eligible for paid time off (PTO) to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Consistent with previous policies that allowed for up to 80 hours of COVID-related PTO in 2020, the firm supports those who are eligible and who have made the personal decision to receive a vaccine to do so in the most convenient way possible, even if that is during business hours.
With more than 20 offices in eight states across the U.S., firm leadership adopted a flexible and fluid approach to the pandemic response. “We recognized early on the importance of meeting each office – indeed each employee – where they were comfortable. As protocols and mandates differed from state to state and county to county, our top priority has been to implement policies that make employees feel safe and supported,” said Gerry Greenspoon, co-managing director. “Offering PTO so employees can receive the vaccine is the latest decision that demonstrates our ‘employee first’ mentality, and it’s simply the right thing to do.”
As businesses contemplate a ‘return to the office’ strategy, Greenspoon Marder is committed to a careful and thoughtful approach. “We recognize that many of our attorneys are eager to once again meet in person with clients and colleagues, and the vaccine is a key factor towards that end,” said Michael Marder, co-managing director. “We are closely monitoring COVID trends in each of our locations, as well as listening to our employees. We hope those who are eligible elect to receive the vaccine, and we will work with and support each person in this regard.”
