On August 3, 2020, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York upended several employer-friendly provisions in the U.S. Department of Labor regulations implementing the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Specifically, the court struck down the DOL's regulations regarding: (1) the requirement that employers actually have work available for employees in order to be eligible for leave; (2) the broad definition of "health care provider" under the final rule; (3) the requirement that employees obtain employer approval for intermittent leave; and (4) the requirement that employees provide documentation prior to taking FFCRA leave. In this webinar, the speakers will discuss the practical effect of the court's ruling and what to expect next.
