The Basics of EPSL/EFMLA Extension 1.27.21

The Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL) and Extended Family Medical Leave (EFMLA) provided by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) has been extended…sort of. 

The FFCRA actually expires on December 31, 2020, but the federal government will continue to provide tax credits for employers who voluntarily provide the leave within the framework of the FFCRA. And given that CalOSHA has ordered that people excluded from work due to COVID must “maintain earnings” there doesn’t seem to be much reason not to provide the benefit.

In this webinar, we will review the benefits provided with EPSL/EFMLA, the requirements (or lack thereof) for documentation, and strategies for communicating your policies.

*You will be required to "register" through Zoom (the webinar application) in order for us to verify your attendance (and send you follow up information). Please do a test log-in to the meeting at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start if you have never used Zoom for webinars.
