On March 25, 2020, the Department of Labor issued the required poster employers will need to provide to employees under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Employers may satisfy this requirement by posting the notice in a conspicuous place on their premises, emailing or mailing the notice to employees directly, or posting it on an employee external website or intranet.
For your convenience, a copy of the FFCRA Workplace Notice is below.
The agency also published a series of frequently asked questions about the required FFCRA notice, which can be accessed here.
The FFCRA has two common provisions that apply to both the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (the “Emergency FMLA”) and the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (“Emergency Paid Sick Leave”):
- An employer of a health care provider and emergency responders may exclude that employee from the FFCRA “public health emergency leave” requirements.
- The Labor Secretary may issue regulations that exclude certain health care providers and emergency responders from the definition of eligible employees under both the Emergency FMLA and Emergency Paid Sick Leave requirements.
As of today, such regulations have not been released.
