Operative words

DATES: This rule is effective from September 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020.... On August 3, 2020, the District Court ruled that four parts of the temporary rule are invalid: (1) The requirement under § 826.20 that paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave are available only if an employee has work from which to take leave; (2) the requirement under § 826.50 that an employee may take FFCRA leave intermittently only with employer approval; (3) the definition of an employee who is a 'health care provider,' set forth in § 826.30(c)(1), whom an employer may exclude from being eligible for FFCRA leave; and (4) the statement in § 826.100 that employees who take FFCRA leave must provide their employers with certain documentation before taking leave.

Notes

Narrowed the health-care-provider exclusion so that hospital, practice and home-care support staff became entitled to FFCRA leave for the last quarter of 2020.
