Sick

Covered Employers: The paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave provisions of the FFCRA apply to certain public employers, and private employers with fewer than 500 employees.[1] Most employees of the federal government are covered by Title II of the Family and Medical Leave Act, which was not amended by this Act, and are therefore not covered by the expanded family and medical leave provisions of the FFCRA. However, federal employees covered by Title II of the Family and Medical Leave Act are covered by the paid sick leave provision.

Sick

Eligible Employees: All employees of covered employers are eligible for two weeks of paid sick time for specified reasons related to COVID-19. Employees employed for at least 30 days are eligible for up to an additional 10 weeks of paid family leave to care for a child under certain circumstances related to COVID-19.[2]

Notice: Where leave is foreseeable, an employee should provide notice of leave to the employer as is practicable. After the first workday of paid sick time, an employer may require employees to follow reasonable notice procedures in order to continue receiving paid sick time.

For reason (5): A full-time employee is eligible for up to 12 weeks of leave (two weeks of paid sick leave followed by up to 10 weeks of paid expanded family & medical leave) at 40 hours a week, and a part-time employee is eligible for leave for the number of hours that the employee is normally scheduled to work over that period.

[3] Paid sick time provided under this Act does not carryover from one year to the next. Employees are not entitled to reimbursement for unused leave upon termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation from employment.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including 40 U.S.C. 121, and in order to promote economy and efficiency in procurement by contracting with sources that allow their employees to earn paid sick leave, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. This order seeks to increase efficiency and cost savings in the work performed by parties that contract with the Federal Government by ensuring that employees on those contracts can earn up to 7 days or more of paid sick leave annually, including paid leave allowing for family care. Providing access to paid sick leave will improve the health and performance of employees of Federal contractors and bring benefits packages at Federal contractors in line with model employers, ensuring that they remain competitive employers in the search for dedicated and talented employees. These savings and quality improvements will lead to improved economy and efficiency in Government procurement.

Sec. 2. Establishing paid sick leave for Federal contractors and subcontractors. (a) Executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall, to the extent permitted by law, ensure that new contracts, contract-like instruments, and solicitations (collectively referred to as "contracts"), as described in section 6 of this order, include a clause, which the contractor and any subcontractors shall incorporate into lower-tier subcontracts, specifying, as a condition of payment, that all employees, in the performance of the contract or anysubcontract thereunder, shall earn not less than 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.

(b) This order creates no rights under the Contract Disputes Act, and disputes regarding whether a contractor has provided employees with paid sick leave prescribed by this order, to the extent permitted by law, shall be disposed of only as provided by the Secretary in regulations issued pursuant to this order.

Please notify the DNR if you see a sick or dead deer or multiple dead deer in any one area. You do not need to report deer killed on or near a roadway. Reporting is the most efficient way to monitor disease and remove disease agents. Report your sightings of sick or dead deer to the DNR Wildlife Hotline by emailing DNRWildlifeSwitchboard@wisconsin.gov or calling 608-267-0866. You will need to leave a message for the hotline staff to return your call. In your message, please include:

The Sick Leave Pool (SLP) is a reserve of sick time off hours donated by university employees to provide eligible employees with paid sick time off for catastrophic medical conditions. For more information, please see the university's Handbook of Operating Procedures.

If awarded SLP hours, you will continue to accrue annual & sick time off on a monthly basis, however since you are not actively working to earn the accruals, they will remain frozen and cannot be used until you return to work.

As a current employee who has contributed to the SLP, you may submit a written request to Leave Management to receive a refund of donated hours if you have exhausted your own sick time off balance and you have an immediate need that does not qualify as a catastrophic illness or injury.

Workers who perform tasks for companies like Instacart, Postmates and DoorDash will accrue a day of paid sick leave for every 30 days they do work in Seattle. While on leave, workers will receive pay based on their average daily compensation.

The law permanently enshrines a temporary measure that mandated paid sick and safe leave for some food delivery workers in Seattle during the pandemic, when many customers stuck at home came to depend on delivery services. That measure was set to expire on May 1.

\"A healthy workforce leads to a healthy community, and no one should have to choose between taking a sick day to care for themselves -- or their families -- and making rent,\" Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said in a statement.

\"We are proud that Seattle has recognized the importance of making sure gig workers can stay home when they are sick or need to take care of a loved one,\" Alvarado added. \"When gig workers are protected, we all are.\"

Under the law signed by Gov. Phil Murphy in May, employers must provide up to 40 hours of earned sick leave per year. Full- and part-time employees accrue paid time off at a rate of one hour of earned sick time for every 30 hours worked, or the employer can advance its employees earned sick leave at the beginning of the benefit year.

Qualified sick leave wages and qualified family leave wages are wages (as defined in section 3121(a)) that an employer is required to pay under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act or the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act, or voluntarily pays under the COVID-related Tax Relief ACT of 2020. Section 288 of the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020 clarified that whether a payment is a qualified sick leave wage or qualified family leave wage is determined without regard to the exclusions from the definition of employment under section 3121(b).

However, for purposes of reporting qualified sick leave wages or qualified family leave wages on your employment tax return, the exclusions under section 3121(b) still apply. Accordingly, qualified sick leave wages and qualified family leave wages that meet an exclusion under section 3121(b) are not subject to social security and Medicare Tax.

Therefore, when you calculate your credit for qualified sick and family leave wages on Worksheet 1, add the amount of those qualified sick or family leave wages that are eligible for the credit but not included in Step 2, line 2a, and/or Step 2, line 2e, because the qualified sick or family leave wages meet an exclusion under section 3121(b) before you figure your total credit in Step 2, line 2d (credit for qualified sick leave wages) or Step 2, line 2h (credit for qualified family leave wages).

Our Wildlife Health Team is especially interested in the following; however, even reports of incidents involving common species and single animals are useful to help us understand baseline levels of sickness and death in wildlife populations.

The Sick or Dead Wildlife Report is not intended for collecting information on domesticated fowl, defined as chickens, turkeys, ostriches, emus, rheas, cassowaries; waterfowl (i.e., domesticated fowl that normally swim, such as ducks, geese, and swans); or game birds (domesticated fowl such as pheasants, pea fowl, partridge, quail, grouse, and guineas).
