Important Information
for Community Associations with fewer than 500 employees
Effective April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, employers with fewer than 500 employees are required to comply with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The FFCRA is a temporary measure that ensures that employees would be entitled to additional paid sick leave for COVID-19 related reasons. For employers with fewer than 50 employees, there may be an exemption from the requirement to provide leave due to school closings or child care unavailability if the leave requirements “would jeopardize the viability of the business as a going concern.” Additional information should be forthcoming from the Department of Labor to provide additional detail for exemption qualifications. As this situation is changing daily, it is important to regularly visit https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic for important updates. The attached poster is required to be displayed in a conspicuous place on the work premises. In addition, as many workers are working remotely, the poster must also be emailed or directly mailed to remote workers.
How to handle
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Because of the rapidly changing environment, including the issuance of the Virginia Governor's Executive Order 55 on March 30th, there are numerous factors that communities must consider that are specific to each Association's governing documents and their circumstances. Therefore, it would be recommended that legal counsel be consulted as issues arise within your Association. To view the Governor's Executive Order 55, click below.
