Wrong. It applies to all private businesses with less than 500 employees. However, small businesses with less than 50 employees may apply for a small business exception if granting the leave would have a detrimental effect on the business.

Trust me, they don’t lose any money or not a lot

However, what I’m suggesting to everybody
If your boss has a business with up to 150 employees:
They’re all getting paid for at least 2 weeks in full!!!!!!!

Another up to 10/12 weeks if:
They’re taking care of a covid sick family member
If schools are closed
And if they don’t have childcare available

So any nanny don’t let these families take advantage of you!!!!
My employee doesn’t want to pay me at all, but I cannot quit and she doesn’t want to fire me, telling me how her husband has a hard time lying his employees

Guess what!
His employees are getting a two weeks paid vacation paid by the president of the United States!!!!

You’re misreading. Employers of 50-150 are required to pay for 2 weeks of quarantine/sick leave, then up to 10 weeks of time off to care for children or sick household members, but they aren’t being fully reimbursed.

It's tax breaks. And you're an idiot.

The way I read this, there will be guidance later this week if it applies to household employers. From the link you provided:
"Small business exemption
This exemption could include household employers. We’re awaiting further guidance on how it may apply to families with someone working in their homes."

“4. If providing child care-related paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave at my business with fewer than 50 employees would jeopardize the viability of my business as a going concern, how do I take advantage of the small business exemption?

To elect this small business exemption, you should document why your business with fewer than 50 employees meets the criteria set forth by the Department, which will be addressed in more detail in forthcoming regulations.“

Never heard of a nanny employed with at least 50 other employees. Also, a household isn’t a business. I highly doubt nannies qualify.

Employers would be smart to have nannies just bring their kids and keep a closed circle.

Seriously?

I am interested in this. I assume that this would not apply to families employing a nanny. But does anybody know for sure?

Is there a link?

My understanding is that the act requires employers with less than 500 employees to pay for 12 weeks of paid leave if an employee has children off from school and 2 weeks (in addition to other paid leave) if they or a member of their family is infected with coronavirus. Will the exemption for 50 or fewer employees if the leave would threaten a business as a 'going concern' likely apply in this instance? If not, is anyone considering laying off their nanny before April 1 to avoid paying the 12 weeks? Thoughts please.
