The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) is requiring all employers with fewer than 500 employees, to post the Employee Rights - Paid Sick Leave and Expanded Family and Medical Leave Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act notice in a conspicuous place on their premises. An employer may satisfy this requirement by emailing or direct mailing this notice to employees and new hires or posting it on the employer’s website (“an employee information internal or external website”).

The notice must be posted from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, regardless of whether the employer’s state requires greater protections.

More information about the FFCRA notice specifications can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor website.

Check the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor website or sign up for Key News Alerts to ensure that you remain current with all notice requirements.
