Background: On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which creates two new emergency paid leave requirements in response to the COVID–19 global pandemic. Division E of the FFCRA, ‘‘The Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act’’ (EPSLA), entitles certain employees to take up to two weeks of paid sick leave. Division C of the FFCRA, ‘‘The Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act’’ (EFMLEA), which amends Title I of the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (FMLA), permits certain employees to take up to twelve weeks of expanded family and medical leave, ten of which are paid, for specified reasons related to COVID–19. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Public Law 116–136 (CARES Act), which amends certain provisions of the EPSLA and the provisions of the FMLA added by the EFMLEA. In general, the FFCRA requires covered employers to provide eligible employees up to two weeks of paid sick leave at full pay, up to a specified cap, when the employee is unable to work because the employee is subject to a federal, state, or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID–19, has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine due to concerns related to COVID–19, or is experiencing COVID–19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis. The FFCRA also provides up to two weeks of paid sick leave at partial pay, up to a specified cap, when an employee is unable to work because of a need to care for an individual subject to a federal, state, or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID–19 or who has been advised by a health care provider to selfquarantine due to concerns related to COVID–19; because of a need to care for the employee’s son or daughter whose E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1
