Paid Leave Under The Families First Coronavirus Response Act

The Department of Labor issued a temporary rule to enable new paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave requirements established under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The rule is necessary for the new policy to become operational on April 1, 2020, effective on April 2, 2020, and expire on Dec. 31, 2020. It codifies changes to the federal definition of “health care provider.”
