Like so many elements of contingent workforce management, “return to work protocols” – the laws, rules and guidelines produced by each different state to manage the reopening of the US economy shuttered by the COVID-19 pandemic – differ widely state by state.

The workforce compliance experts at Littler have done yeoman’s work at building out an inventory of “Stay at Home Order” statuses for all fifty US states. Their document is updated in near real-time as each governor and state legislature makes decisions about how and when to reopen their state’s economy according to facts on the ground in their specific locations.

nextSource has republished this indispensable resource here at the nextSource blog and we’ll continue to update it here as the changes are published over time. The comprehensive resource shares:

  • Lists of “Essential Businesses”
  • Health Mandates & Other Public Health Info
  • Executive and Legislative Directives
  • FAQs
  • Press Releases
  • Other useful jurisdictional information

Check back often for the latest on how and when your operations can resume in each of the areas where you have contingent workforce activity to ensure compliance with all applicable rules and state orders.
