FFCRA Update

Mar. 2020

The FFCRA underwent major changes as the United States House of Representatives limited the availability of 12 weeks of paid family leave only to parents who are at home with children whose schools have closed.  Another major change states small businesses (those with under 50 employees) and many health care providers are now exempted from paying sick leave due to the financial burden it imposes.  This has not passed the Senate nor put/signed in to law by the President, and thus, we anticipate additional changes before this happens.  Check back for updates as we continue to follow this bill’s progress and do not hesitate to contact our firm if you have any questions.
