The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) plans to revise its rules for workers who need to take coronavirus-related paid leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA).
The DOL sent a final rule to the White House for review on Sept. 3. Although the details have not been made available to the public, the changes follow a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York striking down certain aspects of the department’s current rules, including a requirement for employees to provide documentation before taking FFCRA leave.
