The employee has been advised by a health care professional to self-quarantine due to concerns related to
COVID-19.
The employee is caring for an individual who is subject to an order as described in line 1 or 2 above.
Any employee who has been employed for at least 30 days can take EFMLEA leave if "the employee is unable to
work (or telework) due to a need for leave to care for the son or daughter under 18 years of age of such employee if
the school or place of care has been closed, or the child care provider of such son or daughter is unavailable, due to a
public health emergency."
The EFMLEA allows covered employees to use up to 12 weeks of Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") leave. The
first 10 days of EFMLEA leave may be unpaid. However, EFMLEA gives employees the choice to use "any accrued
vaction leave, personal leave, or medical or sick leave" during the initial 10-day period. After the 10-day period has
passed, employers must provide paid leave in an amount not less than two-thirds of an employee's regular rate. (Note:
Employees who would like to supplement the one-third balance with vacation leave, sick leave, or compensatory time
may do so by filling out a G-1 request form.
