Abstract
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA), Equal Employment Opportunity laws (which encompass the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are long-standing pillars of employment law in this country. [...]educating employees on potential risks associated with travel, including denial of re-entry into the country or state, is a more attractive means to dissuade employees from visiting high-risk zones. [...]several states, including Connecticut, have imposed a fourteen-day quarantine for travelers seeking to enter or return from high-risk areas. [13] The Connecticut Supreme Court held that an employer's responsibility to provide a safe workplace extends to any geographical location an employee may work and is not limited solely to Connecticut work sites, nor to work sites under the control of the employer.[l4] Furthermore, the Connecticut Supreme Court considers local travel advisories when determining the relative danger to an employee traveling to a high-risk area.
