In one of its earliest COVID-related acts, Congress mandated that most employers must provide paid leave to employees who need time off for their own health or to care for a family member. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued regulations in a matter of weeks, but the almost nationwide shutdown of the economy, subsequent legislation, and a federal court decision generated confusion and many questions. DOL recently released 53 pages of new clarifying regulations for employers, including nonprofits.
To help nonprofits with employees gain a better understanding of paid leave requirements, the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits and the National Council of Nonprofits are offering this free webinar. Speakers from DOL will walk participants through the requirements of the laws; explain which employees and employers are covered and which are exempt; discuss the concept of intermittent family leave in the context of schools reopening; and address the recent federal court decision and changes to DOL regulations.
