ABOUT THE EVENT

This new global pandemic has created urgent responsibilities that HR has to address immediately.

HR must move rapidly because the Families First Coronavirus Response Act was effective April 1, 2020. Learn what the FFCRA requires and the mandates for paid FMLA and paid sick leave. Understand what employers are covered and what the eligibility requirements are. Also, learn whether unpaid FMLA protects an employee who has COVID-19.
