Families First Coronavirus Response Act: Employer Paid Leave Requirements

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or Act) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) administers and enforces the new law’s paid leave requirements. These provisions will apply from the effective date through December 31, 2020.

The new federal mandate, Families First Coronavirus Response Act became effective April 1, 2020.

To help NMA members with compliance, we have created a Handbook to inform and educate businesses to avoid any violation.

Please, print and post Employee Rights poster next to the state and federal labor posters.

Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol

In an effort to protect our members NMA has created Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol Employee Handbook. A new requirement that all businesses that remain in operation under applicable state and local orders and that allow members of the public to enter a facility must post, a Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol & Mandatory Sign at each of their facilities in San Diego County.

The information in the Handbook is for educating our staff and to demonstrate to law enforcement that we are taking extra steps to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.
