Employers Required to Post Employee Rights Notice Under FFRCA

As employers continue to weather the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) has issued some guidance to help businesses and employees understand the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”).

On March 25, 2020, the DOL issued the required poster employers will need to provide to employees under the FFCRA.

The agency also published a series of frequently asked questions about the required FFCRA notice, which can be accessed here
