U.S. DOL Regulation and Guidance on FFCRA's Paid Sick Days and Paid Leave Provisions

On March 18, 2020, Congress passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), providing some employees up to 10 paid sick days and up to 12 weeks of family leave (with 10 of the weeks paid), in addition to other critical measures. This was the first time Congress required federal paid leave for private sector workers—an important first step in ensuring workers earning low wages have access to these benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most low-wage workers lack access to paid sick days. When illness strikes, they’re forced to choose between caring for themselves or their families and earning a paycheck. Taking a sick day leads to loss of much-needed wages and could even cost them their jobs. However, going to work sick or sending a sick child to school or child care endangers workers’ and their families’ health and spreads illness to colleagues, customers, and other children. That’s why CLASP advocates at the federal, state, and local levels for paid sick days laws. When workers can earn sick days, they can care for themselves or their loved ones without losing essential income.
