What Employers Need To Know About Latest Federal COVID-19 Stimulus Package | Fisher Phillips

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: Federal lawmakers agreed to a second round of stimulus legislation late last night, sending a nearly 6,000-page bill to President Trump for his expected signature. The proposal allocates $900 billion in economic relief to businesses and workers across the country. Of the many provisions tucked within the mammoth bill are several key provisions of interest to employers. Specifically, the proposal continues the popular small business loan program, provides new options for unemployed workers, extends tax credits for continued paid sick leave, and offers a variety of other tax- and benefit-related provisions. It does not, however, create a liability shield for COVID-19 litigation. What do you need to know about the critical workplace-related portions of Stimulus 2.0? Here are summaries of the most significant employment-related provisions and recommendations for actions you should consider as a result of each.

UPDATE On The Families First Coronavirus Response Act ??(FFCRA) Leave Protections Following Passage of Consolidated ?Appropriations Act, 2021 | Locke Lord LLP

Updated December 28, 2020 UPDATE: On December 21, 2020, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 [Including Coronavirus Stimulus & Relief]. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed this legislation into law. This bill extends the tax credits associated with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), including the Public Health Emergency Leave and Emergency Paid Sick Leave through March 31, 2021. While the tax credits aspect of the FFCRA has been amended, the actual employer mandates do not appear to have been extended beyond the December 31, 2020, expiration date. Thus, employers may continue to extend the benefits to their employees and may qualify for tax credits, though doing so would be permissive and not mandatory.

Bus Drivers Had to Follow Some Wrenching Directions in 2020

Operators like Nathan Vass have navigated the intersection of safety and kindness. By Nicole Martinson 12/21/2020 at 9:00am In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, with offices and streets empty, driving the bus was easy for Nathan Vass. “It felt like it was 10:30 at night all day long,” he recalls. The King County Metro senior operator knows that hour well. During his 13 years of driving, Vass has often worked one of the final shifts of the day—a “late swing —navigating through the University District, Downtown, Rainier Valley, and other neighborhoods on routes 7 and 49. Before Covid-19, the journeys across the city began with rush hour and ended, sometimes, with casual conversation among Vass and the few remaining passengers. “You can kind of wind down before you even finish,” he says.

JISD approves in-district rapid antigen testing for staff, students

By Michelle Dillon mdillon@jacksonvilleprogress.com Dec 19, 2020 Dec 19, 2020 Jacksonville ISD trustees approved a COVID 15-minute rapid antigen test for students and staff within the district at the board meeting held Dec. 14. The 15-minute test was approved by the state of Texas “to give the ability to quickly identify and isolate positive individuals before they can transmit the virus to others,” said Bill Avera, JISD Chief of Police and Emergency Manager. The tests are free of charge to both the school district and the individual receiving the test. “The state of Texas and the federal government are paying the entire bill for this,” Avera said. “They will provide all the tests. They provide all the training, free of charge. There’s no equipment required. They are even providing some additional PPE for test administrators.”
