CMS issued an emergency regulation requiring COVID-19 vaccination of staff at Medicare- and Medicaid-certified healthcare facilities.
GableGotwals obtained summary judgment for a University in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma. The University was sued for terminating a service contract with a vendor. The University counter-claimed for declaratory relief on grounds that it properly terminated the contract. District Judge Don Andrews held the vendor was in material breach of the parties’ service contract and the University’s termination was justified under the contract’s terms. Further, the Court held that the University did not tortiously interfere with the vendor and that the vendor was not entitled to an equitable accounting.
In response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, OSHA released updated guidance on protecting workers from the virus.
GableGotwals is pleased to announce Gerard D'Emilio, Scott Kiplinger, and Ashlyn Smith joined the Firm in Oklahoma City.
The EEOC issued guidance regarding whether employers may incentivize employees to voluntarily provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
Whether particular workers are properly classified as employees or independent contractors is a common challenge for employers and poses a host of costly legal risks.
