Emergency Paid Family Leave Provisions

Employers with fewer than 500 employees must provide employees who’ve been with the organization for 30 days or more the right take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. The first two weeks may be unpaid, or paid with Emergency Paid Sick Leave as detailed above, and the remaining 10 weeks are paid through Emergency FMLA, at a rate of two-thirds the employee’s regular rate of pay. This time may only be used if an employee can’t work, or telework, because they need to care for a child whose school or place of care is closed due to COVID-19. This benefit is limited to $200 per day, which a cap of $10,000 dollars total.
