Who Qualifies Under The Families First Coronavirus Response Act?

Employees are generally eligible if: (1) they have been exposed to the virus; (2) if they are caring for a sick family member; or (3) if school or day care closures require them to stay home and care for a child under 18. Individuals who work for a company with more than 500 employees are not eligible for the paid sick and family leave offered by this bill. Conversely, individuals who work for a company with fewer than 50 employees are eligible. However, the company’s owner may be able to file for an exemption from the Department of Labor.

  • How Can Employers Help Reduce the Chance of Workplace Harassment that May Arise as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic?

    Employers can help reduce the chance of harassment is by clearly communicating to their workforce that fear of the COVID-19 pandemic should not be misdirected against co-workers based on national origin, race, among other protected classes.

  • If an Employer Provides Flexible Working Accommodations to Employees with Children During the Pandemic, are There Sex Discrimination Issues?

    Not necessarily. An employer may provide telework, modified schedules, or other benefits to employees with children without running into sex discrimination issues. Employers may provide flexible working accommodations as long as they are not treating employees differently based on sex or other protected characteristics. By way of example, female employees cannot be given more favorable treatment than their male counterparts based on a gender-based assumption about who has caretaking responsibilities for children.

  • Is There a right to Accommodation Based on Pregnancy During the Pandemic?

    Yes. Pregnancy-related medical conditions may be considered disabilities under the ADA, although pregnancy itself is not an ADA disability. If an employee makes a request for reasonable accommodation due to a pregnancy-related condition, the employer is obliged to consider the request under ADA rules. Additionally, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Title VII specifically requires that women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions be treated the equal to others who are similar in ability or inability to work. A pregnant employee may be entitled to job modifications, such as telework, modified work schedules or assignments, and leave (to the extent provided to similarly situated employees).

  • Can I Be Forced to Work in Unsafe Working Conditions Created by COVID-19?

  • If I Self Quarantine Without Symptoms, Am I Protected By the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”)?

    No. FMLA coverage is generally available for “serious health conditions.” An employee who is asymptomatic and does not have a sick family member but is self-quarantining is not entitled to FMLA protection.

  • What Are the New Jersey Guidelines for Employee Masks During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

    NJ Executive Order 192 states:

    • Employees must wear a mask when entering a worksite.
    • Employees can remove their masks if they work at a workstation more than six feet away from someone or they are alone in a walled off office.
    • Employers must make available, at their expense, masks for employees. However, an employee can wear their own masks if they desire.
    • Employers can deny entry to an employee who refuses to wear a mask unless the refusal violates state or federal law.  For example, if the person has a disability, an employer may be required to provide the employee with a reasonable accommodation unless it creates an undue hardship for the employer.  An employer can ask the employee for medical documentation to support their disability claim.

  • How Has the New Federal Law Changed the FMLA with Respect to COVID-19 Issues?

    Beginning on April 1, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”) expanded FMLA coverage. Please read our guidance, here, for more information on who is eligible under the FFCRA and other key components of the FFCRA.

    FAQs

  • How Can I Prevent Incidents at Company Events and Holiday Parties?

    There are measures that employers can take to protect employees and attendees at these parties. For example, employers may choose not to serve alcohol, or have less alcohol available, via a drink ticket system or otherwise.

    Other actions can also prevent disasters, such as choosing not to hang mistletoe, avoiding dancing, hiring security or staff to keep an eye out for individual welfare, and making sure that staffers can invite spouses and family members. Increasing the amount of food that is available is also something that several employers are doing at these parties in order to ensure that everyone is well-fed.

    Employees and attendees drinking and driving home is another serious liability concern. Make sure that someone is responsible for monitoring consumption and ensuring no one is driving home if they are unable to do so safely.
