DESCRIPTION
Learn how to update policies and leave administration practices to ensure compliance with paid sick leave laws in effect nationwide.
President Trump has signed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) into law.
The FFCRA builds on an $8.3 billion emergency coronavirus spending package enacted into law on March 6 and deals with the immediate public health crisis the COVID-19 pandemic is causing, including many provisions that will have a direct impact on employers nationwide. These provisions deal with family and medical leave and emergency paid sick leave (as well as unemployment benefits).
Couple this with the fact that so many states and cities now enacting paid sick leave laws, multistate employers may be left scrambling to understand how newly passed legislation affects their organizations and intersects with other types of leave
This training will teach all attendees how to manage all the leave, paid leave, PTO and other leave and how they overlap with the FFCRA.
