Please review both of the federal websites linked above to see if your company/workforce function meets the designation. If you are exempt from the shelter-in-place order, you are encouraged by Homeland Security to continue to operate to maintain our country’s critical infrastructure.
If you meet the definition of essential services employer or critical lifeline company, you should document that designation with an official letter on your company’s letterhead. We encourage you to give this letter to your employees. This will allow them the ability to get to work.
