Millions of US workers are able to receive federally mandated paid leave for the first time under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). But with few employers unscathed by the COVID-19 crisis, many are wondering what this emergency law means for them.
Littler employment attorney Jeff Nowak, a leading authority on leave law issues, joins XpertHR Legal Editor David Weisenfeld to break down the FFCRA. "This new law is fraught with compliance issues," said Nowak. What concerns him the most is how employers will take paid leave into account in conjunction with the Family and Medical Leave Act and state and local leave laws. But Nowak said the availability of immediate tax credits eases the burden on employers somewhat.
