Families First Coronavirus Response Act
Request Form
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the “FFCRA”), effective April 1, 2020, provides State employees with
additional emergency paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to
COVID-19. These provisions apply to leave taken between April 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.
Emergency Paid Sick Leave: Full time eligible employees in a 40 hour work week may discharge up to eighty (80)
hours of emergency paid sick leave, at the employee’s regular rate of pay (part-time employees may discharge sick
leave in an amount equal to the number of hours that he or she works, on average, over a two (2) week period
this includes employees who are scheduled to work 35 hour per week as they are considered to be part-time
under the FFCRA) if the employee is unable to work, or telework, due to a reason listed below.
Emergency Family and Medical Leave Act Expansion: Employees who have been employed for at least thirty (30)
days prior to their leave request, may be eligible for up to two (2) weeks of unpaid and ten (10) weeks of partially
paid expanded family and medical leave where an employee is unable to work or telework under the State’s
Teleworking Policy due to a bona fide need for leave to care for the employee’s child if the child’s school or place
of care has been closed, or the child care provider of such child is unavailable, due to a public health emergency
declared by a Federal, State or local authority as a result of COVID-19.
