Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) Details Coronavirus Sick Leave Rights

By | December 8, 2020

The federal government released official details about the new Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and a new required poster.

The new act expands family and medical leave requirements for all public and private employers with up to 500 employees.

Our Federal and State Combos – plus Update Service – contain all federal and state posting requirements – including the new FFCRA poster – plus insurance to keep your business compliant with future labor law updates.

Under the FFCRA, covered employers must provide:

  • 2 weeks (up to 80 hours or a part-time employee’s 2-week equivalent) of paid sick leave dependent on qualifying reasons for leave related to COVID-19.
  • Up to an additional 12 weeks of paid expanded family and medical leave for employees who are unable to work due to a bona fide need for leave to care for a child whose school or child care provider is closed or unavailable for reasons related to COVID-19.
