Seyfarth Synopsis:
Earlier this month, Pittsburgh enacted “An Ordinance providing for special conditions for the operation and use of Paid Sick leave under the Paid Sick Days Act during and due to the crisis presented by COVID-19” (the “Ordinance”) by adding a new Chapter to the Pittsburgh Code of Ordinances: Temporary Emergency COVID-19 Paid Sick Leave (“COVID-19 Sick Time”). The Ordinance provides covered individuals with paid leave for certain COVID-19 related absences. While the covered absences under the Ordinance are similar to absences covered under the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”), Pittsburgh’s COVID-19 Sick Time will remain available for use after the FFCRA’s current December 31, 2020 sunset date.
