Congress passed HR 6201, the emergency Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The sweeping legislation includes important changes to paid-leave policy for many organizations throughout the country. These provisions include:
- Tax Credits for Paid Sick and Paid Family and Medical Leave— The bill would provide 100% refundable tax credits to private-sector employers with fewer than 500 employees to address employment interruptions related to COVID-19.
- Emergency Sick Leave— Under the bill, certain employers would be required to provide 80 hours (or 2 weeks) of fully paid leave to full-time employees.
- Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act—Employers would be generally required to provide 10 weeks of paid leave and pay employees two-thirds of their wages, not to exceed $200 per day and $10,000 in the aggregate.
