The month of September brought in many special articles and topics to CoatingsCoffeeShop, based on our list of most-read articles for the month. One of our top articles highlights the recent California case, Thai v. International Business Machine Corp., which questions a company's job to pay for certain employee expenses during COVID-19. As Adams & Reese Partner Trent Cotney shares, the court ultimately sided with the employees and ruled that they should be reimbursed for any business expenses accrued during their time working from home.  

Our second most popular article for September highlighted how important the role of business leadership is to uphold safety standards and work cultures.
