FFCRA Requires Employers to Offer Paid Leave, Expanded Leave

What Is FFCRA?

Here is a short video about the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA).

FFCRA Employer Requirements

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) requires “certain public employers and private employers with fewer than 500 employees to provide their employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. Each covered employer must post in a conspicuous place on its premises a notice of FFCRA requirements. These provisions will apply from April 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020.”

Covered Employers Must Inform Workers

Employers must inform covered workers of the rights contained in the Act, and display posters in a conspicuous place in the workplace. Employers should also inform remote workers about the Act by sending an email or direct mailing.
