Emergency Paid Sick Leave

This section requires employers with fewer than 500 employees to provide employees two weeks of paid sick leave, paid at the employee’s regular rate for their own sickness or care; or paid at two-thirds the employee’s regular rate to care for a family member or to care for a child whose school or place of care has closed due to the coronavirus. All employees, regardless of their tenure with the company, are entitled to this time.

Full-time employees are entitled to 2 weeks (80 hours) and part-time employees are entitled to the typical number of hours that they work in a typical two-week period. If the employee is using this time for their own illness, the benefit is limited to $511 per day, and $5,110 annually. If the employee is using this time to care for a family member, the benefit is limited to $200 per day, and $2,000 annually.
