FFCRA Virtual Panel Part II—Need-to-Know Regulatory Guidance

On April Fools’ Day, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued the much anticipated regulations that accompany the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). These regulations span 124 pages and touch on many of the topics and questions generated by the FFCRA and multiple versions of Q&As released by the DOL within the last week.

To help you better navigate these new regulations, our Labor & Employment Practice Group provides a virtual panel and an overview of the regulations to make it easier for you to quickly find the regulatory guidance most important to your workplace.

Families First Coronavirus Response Act - Virtual Panel Discussion

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) represents a monumental shift in employment law, building on the framework of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and providing new categories of paid emergency FMLA leave and paid emergency sick leave. Crowe & Dunlevy, in partnership with Oklahoma Human Resources state council, hosted a panel of its Labor & Employment Practice Group attorneys who have been working tirelessly with the business community to find answers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This recorded panel explains what the FFCRA requires, how to comply, the legal pitfalls to avoid and what steps you should be taking now to prepare your workforce for the seismic changes that come with this new law.
