Here is an initial analysis of the Coronavirus Paid Leave bill:
http://www.myemploymentlawyer.com/wiki/Families-First-Coronavirus-Response-Act-An-analysis-of-House-Bill-6201.htm
It will provide federally funded Emergency Paid Leave, and it requires employers to pay employees up to 10 days of paid sick time during a public health emergency, which we are in.
I have not figured out yet when it will take effect, if passed. One would think it would take effect immediately.
While I don't think athe Bill will help employees who are out of work due to a plant closure unrelated to coronavirus, I believe it will cover the days that you need to take leave to care for children who are at home due to a school closure.
