WEBINAR: DOL Final Rule on FFCRA's Paid Sick Leave Provision
DOL Final Rule on FFCRA's Paid Sick Leave Provisions
Tuesday, September 29 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
In response to a case ruling from a federal district court in New York, the Department of Labor (DOL) has revised the definition of “health care provider” for purposes of determining the employees who may be excluded from the Families First Coronavirus Response Act's (FFCRA’s) paid leave benefits for the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and the Emergency Family Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA). The revised Final Rule limits the scope of employees who may be classified as “health care providers” that are subject to exclusion. To fall within the scope of the revised definition, an employee must be “capable of providing health care services, meaning he or she is employed to provide diagnostic services, preventative services, treatment services, or other services that are integrated with and necessary to the provision of patient care and, if not provided, would adversely impact patient care.” 29 CFR 826.30(c)(1)(B). The revised Final Rule also clarifies the regulations relating to intermittent leave and the documentation that employers may require prior to granting a leave request.
