Employers are not required to provide Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) leave after Dec. 31, 2020, but may voluntarily decide to do so, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced.
“The Wage and Hour Division is attuned to the critical need for American workers and employers to understand this relief program as they deal with the effects of this crisis on the workplace,” said DOL Wage and Hour Division Administrator Cheryl Stanton in a statement released Dec. 31. “The guidance we issued today provides clarity around some of the novel issues that the FFCRA’s expiration raises.”
