FFCRA Updates – Paid Leave Law and Employer Tax Credits

On March 18, 2020, the President signed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). This legislation changes the way employers handle Paid Leave Time and Paid Time Off during the coronavirus pandemic.  The law will go into effect on April 1, 2020, and aims at helping ease the burden of employers having to adhere to the new law (FFCRA).    

Employers covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the Act) may now take advantage of the special tax credits designed to reimburse them for providing coronavirus-related leave to their employees. Although the effective date has not been determined, but will be no later than April 1, 2020, the tax credits are available immediately.
