EXTENDING PAID SICK LEAVE AND LEAVE-OF-
ABSENCE PROVISIONS OF THE FAMILIES FIRST
CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE ACT (FFCRA) FOR COUNTY
EMPLOYEES THROUGH MARCH 31, 2021.
WHEREAS, in early 2020, the Federal government passed the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act(FFCRA), which required certain employers(including
Monroe County)to provide job protected leaves of absences and paid leaves to
employees affected by the COVID-19 virus, when certain circumstances apply; and
WHEREAS, those Federal requirements expired on December 31, 2020 and the
recent COVID-19 relief package passed by the Federal government did not address
an extension or modification of FFCRA beyond 12/31/2020; and
WHEREAS, employers may opt to continue the provisions through March 31, 2021; and
WHEREAS, in April of 2020, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe
County did adopt Resolution No. 105-2020, which set Administrative Leave as the
method by which the County would comply with the FFCRA; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) now
wishes to extend the provisions of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act as
allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, THAT:
1. Monroe County BOCC employees absent for one or more stated reasons under
the Families First Coronavirus Response Act(FFCRA), shall have Administrative
Leave applied as the form of payment to comply with the Act, at the full or partial
rate defined in the Act, through March 31, 2021.
2. This shall serve as only an extension of the provisions of the FFCRA through
March 31, 2021 and shall not be a new or additional availability of leave or pay
for any employee. Any leave already used by an employee or pay already
received by an employee under the FFCRA shall count toward the
comprehensive maximum allowances defined in the FFCRA.
