Updates to Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
What does this mean for Employers?
Employers have wondered if the mandated paid sick and family leave passed under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) will be extended beyond the December 31st deadline. The answer is “no”; BUT employers who voluntarily offer paid “FFCRA” leave to employees through March 31, 2021 will still receive the corresponding tax credit.
So, NO, not mandated to continue adhering to FFCRA after 12/31/2020
But, YES, the company can opt to continue voluntarily adhering to FFCRA and, if the company opts to continue offering FFCRA paid leave, all current provisions and record keeping apply.
