CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- The Families First Corona Virus Response Act (FFCRA) is a federal legislation geared to provide additional paid leave for government employees that have been impacted by COVID-19. FFCRA is designed to:
1. Expand existing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) temporarily (till December 2020) to cover leave needed for the care of children out of school due to COVID-19. Employees utilizing this leave will be paid the third week through the twelfth week of extended FMLA.
2. FFCRA provides two weeks of paid sick leave for childcare and other leave related to COVID-19 (in addition to what Mecklenburg County has already provided.)
The FMLA amendments and the new federal sick leave outlined above were created in separate and distinct sections of the FFCRA. Employees can use the two types of leave outlined above, either separately, or in some circumstances together. The FFCRA Response Act went into effect on April 1, 2020; provisions outlined will apply through December 31, 2020.
