Following last week’s passage of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 (FFCRA) and President Trump signing it into law, the U.S. Department of Labor has requested ideas and input on the paid leave provisions of the new law as it issues implementing regulations and guidance.

This national online dialogue provides an opportunity for employers and workers to play a key role in shaping the development of the Department of Labor's compliance assistance materials and outreach strategies related to the implementation of FFCRA.

The national online dialogue on will be held from March 23 - March 29, 2020.

In a statement, the Department noted that the “ideas and comments gathered from this dialogue will inform compliance assistance guidance, resources, and tools, as well as outreach approaches, that assist employers and employees in understanding their responsibilities and rights under the FFCRA.”
