U.S. Department of Labor invites Stakeholders to a National Online Dialogue on Paid Family and Medical Leave and Paid Sick Leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
The U.S. Department of Labor will be hosting a national online dialogue to provide employers and employees with an innovative opportunity to offer their perspective as the Department develops compliance assistance materials and outreach strategies related to the implementation of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The ideas and comments gathered from this dialogue will inform compliance assistance guidance, resources, and tools, as well as outreach approaches, that assist employers and employees in understanding their responsibilities and rights under the FFCRA. Input is needed by March 29, 2020. Anybody who is interested can participate online at https://ffcra.ideascale.com from March 23 through March 29, 2020 or can join a Twitter chat hosted by @ePolicyWorks on March 25, 2020 at 2 p.m. using the hashtag #EPWChat.
OCA and its national affiliates will also be giving feedback to the DOL regarding their ideas and perceptions of the new requirements of the FFCRA. We encourage OCA members to register and provide concerns, questions, feedback etc. to the Department of Labor regarding the requirements of the Act.
