Workers have continued to face drastic changes in their work and personal lives due to the ongoing pandemic and quarantine orders. The good news is that employees and contractors have legal rights to benefits and accommodations. These include Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) medical and family leave and other leave entitlements, unemployment benefits, and wage/hour and health safety protections. Individuals are also covered by anti-discrimination, harassment and retaliation laws based on age, disability and other legally-mandated reasons, and they enjoy accommodations relating to disability. Join us for an interactive discussion of these timely topics. Lawyers for the Creative Arts (LCA) is the only pro bono legal service organization in Illinois that has expertise in all areas of the arts. For 48 years, LCA has assisted thousands of artists and arts organizations of all kinds with their legal issues through its legal referral bank and education program, LawSmarts. Lori A. Goldstein
