On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was passed.
The Act has two important new laws for employees, intended to provide relief as
most people's lives have been impacted in some way by COVID-19: (1) the Emergency
Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act; and (2) the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act.
FFCRA also offers tax credits and exemptions designed to protect the viability of
businesses during a time of economic stress.
