Partially Vaccinated Workforce + Room Attendants + Cyber Attacks + Commercial Claims Process + Layered Insurance

Now that most states, the CDC, and OSHA have (or may soon) lift mask mandates for vaccinated workers, what is an employer to do about revealing an employee’s vaccination status? Under any relaxed masking guidance applicable to those who are fully vaccinated, customers, visitors, and co-workers are likely to draw their own conclusions about the vaccination status of everyone else in the workplace based upon whether or not they are wearing a mask. This Insight addresses some of the legal and practical considerations for employers dealing with a partially vaccinated workforce and provides seven options for you to consider as you navigate this rapidly evolving area.

Alissa Nann, Of Counsel with Foley & Lardner, provides an introductory course on hotel receiverships and outlines steps therein.

What Hotels Need to Know About Layered Insurance

June 3, 2021 via Hotel Management

As the lodging industry continues to claw its way out of the business ravages of 2020, it’s increasingly difficult and expensive to insure all the risks the industry faces. That’s a real problem when insurance is a hotel’s largest noncapital expenditure after payroll and taxes.

It partly stems from the state of the insurance market—the hardest of the last 20-plus years. Recent notably large losses (think natural disasters and active shooter judgments) has left carriers reluctant to take on more exposures. Those losses have pressured their capacity (or money available) to cover large risks. A growing number of insurers have bowed out of hospitality entirely—and many of those that remain are finding it easier to just say "no" than to renew policies, even at 50 percent increases in premiums.
