The Department of Labor published today the required poster for employers under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.  We, like many of you, noticed that the DOL’s poster appears to have an error in it as it leaves off the pay requirement with respect to paid sick leave for reason 5 (school closings) and then claims the additional 10 weeks of pay under the expanded FMLA is capped at $12,000 instead of $10,000.  We believe this is just an oversight and likely will be fixed.  In the meantime, the poster can be found here.

In addition, the DOL issued FAQs concerning the poster, which can be found here.

As referenced in our post yesterday the Families First Coronavirus Response Act  will begin to apply to leaves on April 1, 2020.  We are sure there is more to come, as regulations are still expected and Congress continues to debate whether other changes will be forthcoming.  Stay tuned…
