201-896-4100 info@sh-law.comThe Federal Government passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, HR6201 on March 18th, 2020. This legislation will allow for free screenings, two weeks of paid sick leave for State government workers and private companies with fewer than 500 employees to either quarantine or seek a COVID-19 diagnosis, and enhances unemployment benefits for people affected by COVID-19.
The Legislation also provides that:
FMLA leave is amended to include Public Health Emergency Leave for employees who have been employed for at least 30 calendar days. Employees who are unable to work (or telework) due to a need for leave to care for the son or daughter under 18 years of age of such employee if the school or place of care has been closed, or the child care provider of such sone or daughter is unavailable, due to a public COVID-19 health emergency. The first 10 days for which an employee takes leave under this new section 102(a)(1)(F) may consist of unpaid leave. An employee may elect to substitute any accrued vacation leave, personal leave, or medical or sick leave for unpaid leave. An employer shall provide paid leave for each day of leave under section 102(a)(1)(F) that an employee takes after taking leave under such section for 10 days. Paid sick time to care for family members shall be calculated based on an amount that is not less than two-thirds of an employee’s regular rate of pay and the number of hours the employee would otherwise be normally scheduled to work. In no event shall such paid leave exceed $200 a day and $10,000 in the aggregate. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees are exempt when the imposition of such requirements would jeopardize the viability of the business.
