  Mandatory Paid Leave Ends with the Expiration of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)

  Under FFCRA, EIU was required to provide employees with up to 2 weeks of paid sick leave for COVID-19 related illnesses.  With the expiration of the FFCRA on December 31, 2020, employees will be required to use their own personal leave balances for any illness relating to COVID-19.

  Employees who have been mandated by the Illinois Department of Public Health to isolate/quarantine should report such time as sick leave and/or vacation leave on their timesheets/leave reports.  The expiration of the Act does not interfere with an employee's obligation to continue to follow/quarantine orders issued by the IDPH.

  If you would like to read more about the expiration of FFCRA's paid sick leave and expanded family medical leave, please visit this website:           https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20201231-1
