We have created several resources for attorneys to assist workers facing workplace issues related to COVID-19.

Here you can find a list of resources to assist attorneys working on paid leave claims under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA).

Here you can find a Know-Your-Rights document for workers about paid sick and paid leave to care for a child whose school or child care provider is closed because of COVID-19.

Here you can find a factsheet outlining key provisions of the FFCRA and the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations (CARES) Act.

Below, please find our webinar that discusses several key provisions of the FFCRA and the CARES Act, including paid sick days and family leave, unemployment insurance, and economic impact payments.
