COVID-19 Employment Guidance Available

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act expired December 31, 2020. Employers are no longer required, but may voluntarily continue, to provide through March: (1) emergency paid sick leave and (2) emergency paid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. 

Business challenges in an economic downturn implicate various employment laws as employers consider remote work, leave policies, reduced hours, pay cuts, layoffs, and severance.

Employment challenges include how to handle leave, disability accommodation, compliance with anti-discrimination and wage laws, and other employment issues.
