WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO EMPLOYEES IN RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS?

[quote]How does the Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) work?

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) is an extension of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for leave specified reasons related to COVID-19.  The qualifying reasons for COVID-19 related leave is captured on the FFCRA Poster link on our HR COVID-19 page (https://www.carrollk12.org/admin/hr/Pages/COVID-19-.aspx). Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) benefits are set to expire on December 31, 2020.

In accordance with FFCRA, Carroll County Public Schools will provide up to (80 hours) of either fully or partially paid sick leave for staff who meet one or more of the qualifying reasons.

Up to an additional 10 weeks of paid expanded family and medical leave at two-thirds the employee’s regular rate of pay is available for eligible employees (employed for at least 30 calendar days) who are unable to work due to a bona fide need for leave to care for a child whose school or child care provider is closed or unavailable for reasons related to COVID-19.[/quote]

[quote]I don't actually card they're doing this, even that they're only offering to teachers. But can we finally acknowledge that school does double as child care for elementary students?[/quote]

I'm just one teacher (and parent) but yes, I will agree that schools do provide an economic benefit in our society in that they provide child care.   It isn't the main purpose of school, but it is definitely a side benefit.[/quote]
