COVID-19 Response Plan and Procedures
Dear Valued Clients,
To ensure the safety of our staff and our clients, the following plan and procedures will be in effect until further notice. Please refer to these when conducting business with our office.
1. All Visitors will be given a COVID-19 Health Screen prior to allowing entry past the waiting area. Employees are screened daily before starting their duties.
2. Clients and visitors are to limit the number of people coming in and out of the office only to those persons necessary to conduct business (i.e. children and other family members/friends are to be left at home.)
3. All visitors are required to wear a face mask. Staff must wear a face mask or face covering when visitors are in the building unless they are at their individual workstations.
4. Face to Face Consultations will be limited to only the parties involved in the case or matter. No extra guests will be permitted to attend the consultation.
5. Visitors and established clients are strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment to ensure access to the office.
6. Cleaning of the meeting spaces will occur in-between meetings.
7. We encourage meetings by phone or by video conferencing apps to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone. Documents may be emailed, faxed or dropped through the mail slot and these methods are preferred.
8. Pens will be sanitized after use or discarded.
9. Designated points of entry for staff and visitors (Visitors will use front doors, staff will use back doors).
10. If a staff member or known visitor tests positive for COVID-19, the office will be closed to staff and visitors for professional cleaning and sanitizing. The local health department and any co-workers or visitors who may have come into contact with the person with a confirmed case of COVID-19 will be notified within 24 hours.
11. Workstations and common areas will be sanitized daily.
12. Our office will be closed from Noon-1:00 p.m. during the lunch hour.
We take everyone’s health and well-being very seriously. These protective measures should mean no interruption in our ability to provide you with quality legal services. If you have any other questions, please call the office. Thank you.
Kellie E. Podolsky and Kimberly A. Wickham
