Throughout this past week, we have provided a comprehensive analysis of the various provisions of the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), the first ever federal law requiring the payment of paid sick leave and paid family leave for various COVID-19-related reasons. These daily updates include consideration of employer and employee coverage; qualifying reasons for leave; complicated issues in paying employees; and job restoration requirements under both the paid sick and paid family provisions of the FFCRA. For your convenience, we have compiled each day’s analysis here, and Squire Patton Boggs partners Jill Kirila and Laura Lawless will be doing a fulsome review of these provisions—and well as discussing challenges employers face in implementing difficult employment decisions, such as reductions-in-force, hours reductions, and furloughs—in a webinar on Monday, April 13, 2020 at 1 p.m. Eastern/10 a.m. Pacific.
