Covid-19 Firm Policy

On Behalf of | May 1, 2020 | Firm News

WORK ATTENDANCE

Anyone with symptoms of or similar to Covid-19 should not attend the office but should work from home, though obviously if the symptoms are severe enough they should take sick leave.

WEARING OF MASKS

While wearing of masks is not mandatory when in the office, it is recommended that, when we leave our personal workspaces, we wear a mask to protect others, most importantly if while out of our workspace we converse with anyone. Generally speaking, we should attempt to reasonably minimize the times we leave our personal workspaces.

SANITIZING WORK AND OTHER SURFACES

We are responsible for sanitizing our own workspaces. Sanitizing materials will be provided by the firm. Hala will look after sanitizing the handles of our exterior door regularly and as necessary as well as other surfaces in the reception area, and will regularly wipe down frequently-touched surfaces in the kitchen.

OCCUPANCY LIMITS

The kitchen shall be occupied by no more than two persons at once. For the boardroom, the limit is three.

  • Cost: $35 per document paid by interac e-transfer
