| COVID-19 von Briesen Task Force Resource: COVID-19 Relief Bill – What Employers Need to Know Heading Into 2021
On Sunday, December 27, 2020, President Trump signed legislation providing government funding and a long-anticipated coronavirus relief package (the “Bill”). The wide-sweeping Bill contains a number of key provisions that will impact both public and private sector employment in 2021. Of particular significance to employers is that:
- The Bill does not extend the mandates of the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (“EFMLEA”) or the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (“EPSLA”) enacted under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”).
- The Bill allows tax credits to employers for “FFCRA like” paid leave benefits paid to employees through March 31, 2021.
- The Bill provides no economic incentive for public employers to continue FFCRA's paid leave benefits.
- The Bill expands upon the previously enacted CARES Act and provides for continued federal assistance to unemployed workers with supplemental weekly benefit payments of $300 and an extension of the maximum benefit period.
