FFCRA Guidance and CARES Act Benefit Provisions
Over the past few weeks, the United States government has passed sweeping legislation, namely the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on employers and workers. Since then, government agencies have released guidance and updates to these laws. As an employer, it’s important to be aware of, and understand, each change in order to make sound decisions for your organization and employees.
