Early on March 14, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Bill 6201, titled the “Families First Coronavirus Response Act.” The bill is expected to be voted on by the U.S. Senate early this week. If passed by the Senate, Section 5101 of the bill, the “Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act” will require employers with fewer than 500 employees to grant employees paid sick leave for various reasons related to the infection, quarantine, and mitigation of COVID-19.
