FFCRA landmark legislation that aims to provide relief to working families affected by the pandemic
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) is a federal law passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for certain COVID-related reasons. Under the FFCRA, eligible employees can receive up to two weeks of paid sick leave and an additional ten weeks of paid family and medical leave at two-thirds of their regular pay rate. This is a significant relief for employees who need to take time off due to the virus or caring for a family member affected by it. The FFCRA is an important legislation to protect the health and well-being of workers during these challenging times.
