Coronavirus (COVID-19) is impacting businesses across industries, sizes and locations. There are numerous developments in federal, state and local leave laws impacting employers. On Wednesday, the federal government passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the Act), creating paid family and sick leave benefits for eligible employees who require leave due to covered needs relating to COVID-19.
This webinar will explain the provisions of the Act that address this leave: the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Act and the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act. We will also answer frequently asked questions about the application of this new legislation and invite you submit your questions in advance of the webinar.
The discussion and Q&A will be based on our current knowledge of the Act. This is subject to change or revision as the federal government issues expected regulations that will provide additional detail and guidance.
