Department of Labor Requires New Poster for Covered Employers

On March 25th, the Department of Labor ("DOL") released a Workplace Poster for employers regarding COVID-19 and the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCRA" or "the Act").  Pursuant to the FFCRA, employers must post a notice to current employees informing them of their rights under the Act.  All covered employers are required to post a notice of the FFCRA requirements in a conspicuous place on its premises where it is visible to all current employees. If employees are teleworking, an employer may satisfy this requirement by emailing or direct mailing this notice to all of its current employees or posting this notice on an employee information internal or external website. Employers are not required to post this notice in multiple languages. The poster can be found online at:
