Paid Leave Under The Families First Coronavirus Response Act

On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed this Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the "FFCRA"). It gives businesses with fewer than 500 employees (referred to throughout these FAQs as "Eligible Employers") funds to provide employees with paid sick and family and medical leave for reasons related to COVID-19, either for the employee's own health needs or to care for family members. Workers may receive up to 80 hours of paid sick leave for their own health needs or to care for others and up to an additional ten weeks of paid family leave to care for a child . . .
