Those benefits run through the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In general, employee leave permitted under new state COVID-19 rules and guidance varies.

However, this list may not be exhaustive and household employers should <a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/learning-library\/household-employment-by-state\/\">monitor the websites for their state departments of labor<\/a> for new laws, rules, and guidance about COVID-19-related employee leave. <a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/learning-library\/household-employment-by-state\/\">Contact your state&#8217;s labor department<\/a> with any questions or more information.<\/p>\n<h2>California<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dir.ca.gov\/dlse\/2019-Novel-Coronavirus.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Labor Commissioner has issued FAQs<\/a> on employee leave options, compensation, and salary in the context of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h3>Oakland<\/h3>\n<p>On May 12, 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com\/documents\/EPSL-FINAL-corrected-amended-5-12-20-Council-corrected.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland passed a law<\/a> requiring all employers within the city to provide their workers with emergency paid sick leave for specified COVID-19-related reasons, including being at least 65 years old or at other risk of serious illness from COVID-19 exposure. The law took effect immediately upon passage. Full-time workers receive 80 hours of leave, while part-time workers are entitled to an amount of leave equal to their average work hours over a 14-day period, based on hours worked during the period Feb. 3 &#8211; March 4, 2020. Additionally, the ordinance requires employers to compensate all employees laid off on or after May 12, 2020, immediately upon separation for paid sick leave they accrued under Oakland\u2019s existing paid sick leave law.<\/p>\n<p>Household employers may take a credit towards the leave required in the ordinance for any emergency paid sick leave they provided an employee under the FFCRA. Pay caps and exemptions, including for small employers (fewer than 50 employees). <a href=\"https:\/\/cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com\/documents\/EPSL-FAQs-FINAL.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The city has issued FAQs<\/a> on the ordinance.<\/p>\n<h3>San Fransisco<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sfgov.org\/olse\/san-francisco-paid-sick-leave-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Fransisco has published guidance<\/a> on the city&#8217;s Paid Sick Leave and the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecticut<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwid6uLgs7voAhWDK80KHXTZD1oQFjABegQIAxAB&amp;url=https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/Coronavirus\/COVID-19-FAQs.pdf?la=en&amp;usg=AOvVaw20ZD6752A-TPzFxygir0w1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connecticut has issued FAQs<\/a> on the application of various employment laws and programs \u2014 including the state\u2019s paid sick leave and family leave requirements \u2014 to workers and businesses affected by COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h2>Illinois<\/h2>\n<h3>Chicago<\/h3>\n<p>Chicago passed an ordinance banning retaliation against employees for staying home from work for certain COVID-19-related reasons, including caring for others with COVID-19. The law provides employees with a private right of action for violations, allowing damages of three times the wages the employee would have earned and attorneys\u2019 fees, in addition to other enforcement actions. The ordinance took effect on May 20, 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicago.gov\/content\/dam\/city\/depts\/bacp\/OSL\/antiretaliationfaqfinal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The city has issued FAQs<\/a> on the ordinance.<\/p>\n<h2>Michigan<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/attachments\/MIEOG\/2020\/04\/03\/file_attachments\/1418576\/EO%202020-36.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Under an April 2020 executive order<\/a>, Michigan employers are prohibited from discharging, disciplining or otherwise retaliating against employees for staying home when they are at particular risk of infecting others with COVID-19.

The order applies to employees who themselves, or whose close contacts, test positive for COVID-19 or display one or more of the principal symptoms of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h2>Nevada<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/labor.nv.gov\/uploadedFiles\/labornvgov\/content\/Employer\/COVID-19%20Leave%20Guidance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Nevada Labor Commissioner\u2019s Office has issued guidance<\/a> on employees\u2019 use of leave for COVID-19 purposes under the state\u2019s new paid leave law.

These guides explain the applicability of benefits like earned sick leave, unemployment insurance, temporary disability, and family leave insurance and workers\u2019 compensation in various COVID-19-related situations.<\/p>\n<h2>New York<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nyassembly.gov\/leg\/?default_fld=&amp;leg_video=&amp;bn=SB8091&amp;term=0&amp;Summary=Y&amp;Actions=Y&amp;Text=Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York state enacted a new law<\/a> providing leave for employees subject to a quarantine or isolation order due to COVID-19, effective March 18, 2020. Whether and how much employee compensation is required during the leave depends on the size and net income of the employer. For household employers (10 or fewer employees), domestic workers can receive unpaid leave through the end of the quarantine or isolation. Employees are eligible for paid family leave and disability benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The law also allows paid family leave for employees to care for children under a quarantine or isolation order. Employees eligible for federal COVID-19-related leave may take state leave only to the extent that it exceeds the federal leave. Exceptions to the leave requirement apply for asymptomatic or undiagnosed employees who traveled to affected regions (including states on New York\u2019s travel advisory) for non-work purposes.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/paidfamilyleave.ny.gov\/new-york-paid-family-leave-covid-19-faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state\u2019s FAQs<\/a>, or contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/dol.ny.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York State Department of Labor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Oregon<\/h2>\n<p>The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/boli\/WHD\/OST\/Documents\/OARD%20Temporary%20Rule%20Filing%20-%20OAR%20839-009-0230.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued a temporary rule<\/a> clarifying that the state&#8217;s family leave covers an employee\u2019s absence to care for his or her child whose school or place of care has been closed in conjunction with a statewide public health emergency declared by a public health official.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/BOLI\/WHD\/OST\/Pages\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oregon has also issued guidance<\/a> on the use of sick time (which may also be used for public health school closures) in the context of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h2>Pennsylvania<\/h2>\n<h3>Philadelphia<\/h3>\n<p>Under <a href=\"http:\/\/regulations.phila-records.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">emergency regulations<\/a>, employees covered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phila.gov\/2020-03-09-using-paid-sick-leave-in-philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city\u2019s sick leave law<\/a> may use that leave for specified COVID-19-related reasons. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phila.gov\/2020-03-20-information-and-resources-for-workers-impacted-by-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Rhode Island<\/h2>\n<p>The Rhode Island Division of Labor and Training is waiving certain eligibility requirements for individuals filing COVID-19-related claims under the state\u2019s temporary disability insurance and temporary caregiver insurance programs.<\/p>\n<h2>GTM can help<\/h2>\n<p>Ready to skip the risks and hassles of nanny taxes and payroll?
