US Emergency Paid Leave Bill: New Relief To Mitigate COVID-19’s Economic Impact

The legislation would enact coronavirus-related paid leave requirements that would affect many employers, but important questions remain.

Key Points:

..As currently drafted, the bill would impact employers with one to 499 employees, and would be effective through 2020.

..Employees would receive up to a total of 14 weeks off, with 12 weeks of paid leave.

..Leave under the bill could be used for self-quarantine, illness-related purposes (including taking care of a family member who is ill), and in the event that an employee is affected by a school closure or child care becomes unavailable due to the coronavirus.
