8.131:13Discussion of Temporary Rule: Paid Leave Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or ACT)Discussion
Item details
Rationale: On April 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor announced new action regarding how American workers and employers will benefit from the protections and relief offered by the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act and Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act, both part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The leave provisions are created by a time-limited statutory authority established under the FFCRA and are set to expire on December 31, 2020. The temporary rule is effective from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or Act) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. These provisions will apply from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. In general, employees of private sector employers with fewer than 500 employees, and certain public sector employers, are eligible for up to two weeks of fully or partially paid sick leave for COVID-19 related reasons. Employees who have been employed for at least 30 days prior to their leave request may also be eligible for up to an additional 10 weeks of partially paid expanded family and medical leave. Using the U.S. Department of Labor's Coronavirus Resources ( https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-questions ), the Human Resource department has prepared a Families First Coronavirus Response Act Question & Answer sheet for employees. This information along with FFCRA Fact Sheets from the Department of Labor (DOL) in both English and Spanish was emailed out to all employees on April 3, 2020. The DOL Fact Sheets will also be posted at all work sites. The Human Resource department is monitoring the U.S. Department of Labor's resources regarding COVID-19 https://www.dol.gov/coronavirus and will update employees if and when any new information is released. Financial Impact: Impact to General and Categorical funds to be determined.
