1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State New Jersey and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?state=NJ&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

Enforcement: Recommendations; made mandatory by State elective-procedure orders and referenced in CMS survey guidance

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

NJ-050), paras. 1-15 and 18 effective 6:00 a.m. May 28, 2021 and paras. 16-17 effective 6:00 a.m. June 4, 2021; with Executive Order No. 243 (2021) (Ex. NJ-051) rescinding the EO 107 telework mandate effective 6:00 a.m. June 4, 2021, Executive Order No. 244 (2021) (Ex. NJ-052) terminating the Public Health Emergency on June 4, 2021, and P.L. 2021, c. 103 (Ex. NJ-053) fixing the survivors (2021-05-28 (capacity, distancing and indoor public masking) and 2021-06-04 (indoor gathering limits; telework mandate; Public Health Emergency)). What remained: The State of Emergency (EO 103 as continued by EO 244 para. 2 and c. 103 sec. 4); EO 242 paras. 2-3 and 6 and EO 243 paras. 1-4: masking and six-foot distancing in indoor workplaces not open to the public for employees not proven fully vaccinated, and the daily health checks and other EO 192 employer requirements; EO 242 para. 13: masking and distancing requirements in health care settings including long-term care, home health care and office-based health care, correctional facilities, homeless shelters, and on public transportation and in transportation hubs; EO 242 para. 9: school, child care and camp distancing and masking rules (EOs 149, 175, 237 and DOH standards); EO 242 para. 18: municipal and county power to impose indoor mask requirements; the executive orders listed in c. 103 sec. 1 to January 1, 2022 (EO 106 eviction moratorium as modified by EO 249 and c. 188; EO 112 health-care licensing; EO 123 insurance grace periods; EO 150 outdoor-premises expansions; EO 159/170/178 deadline extensions; EO 229 utility moratorium, replaced by EO 246's grace period to December 31, 2021; EO 233; EO 237 camps); every unrevoked agency directive and waiver to January 11, 2022 (c. 103 sec. 3(a)), including DOH ED 20-013, 20-016 (rev.

Preemption of local orders, State of New Jersey: Yes, from the first day. EO 104 para. 12 (March 16, 2020) and EO 107 (March 21, 2020) barred any municipal, county or other political subdivision from enacting or enforcing conflicting orders; EO 108 (March 21, 2020, Ex. NJ-005) invalidated every existing county or municipal COVID-19 restriction that conflicted with EO 107, naming as examples changes to the essential-retail list, limits on business scope or hours, density or distancing rules, gathering orders and curfews, and reserved to municipalities only short-term-rental platforms and parks (para. 3). Every later order repeated the bar. EO 118 (April 7, 2020) removed county power over county parks; EO 195 (November 12, 2020, Ex. NJ-038) restated the preemption for EOs 103-194 and created the single wartime exception, letting municipalities and counties restrict the hours of non-essential retail, food and beverage, personal care and recreation businesses between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. (Newark and other cities used it).

5. Standing duties in New Jersey

New Jersey placed every employer under standing duties before any COVID-19 order issued, and every COVID-19 order was written on top of them. First, the Civilian Defense and Disaster Control Act, N.J.S.A. App. A:9-33 et seq. (Ex. DUT-NJ-006): section 9-45 empowers the Governor to make orders on 'the conduct of the civilian population' and on 'any matter that may be necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people,' and provides that such orders 'having to do with the conduct of persons... shall be binding upon each and every person within this State'; section 9-49 makes any person who violates 'any order, rule or regulation adopted by the Governor' a disorderly person subject to six months' imprisonment or a $1,000 fine or both; section 9-50 reaches aiding and abetting; section 9-40 bars any subdivision from enforcing a rule at variance with the Governor's. Every COVID-19 order closes with the duty of 'every person or entity in this State or doing business in this State... to cooperate fully' and a penalty paragraph citing App. A:9-49 and -50 (Ex. NJ-004 paras. 24-25; NJ-011 paras. 7-8; NJ-036 paras. 11, 13; NJ-050 paras. 20-21; NJ-051 paras. 7-8). The Appellate Division held in JWC Fitness, LLC v. Murphy, No. A-0639-20 (App. Div. Oct. 18, 2021) (Ex. DUT-NJ-013), that the Governor exercised 'his authority to regulate the operations of specified categories of businesses under N.J.S.A. App. A:9-40 and 9-45' and that a violator 'shall be adjudged a disorderly person and be subject to fine or imprisonment.' Second, the Emergency Health Powers Act, P.L. 2005, c. 222 (Ex. DUT-NJ-001): the declaring order 'may also prescribe necessary actions or countermeasures to protect the public's health' (26:13-3(a)); the Commissioner may 'close, direct and compel the evacuation of, or... decontaminate... any facility of which there is reasonable cause to believe that it may endanger the public health' (26:13-8(a)), a power EO 192 para. 13 recited as the sanction for any employer 'that fails to adhere to the protocols'; the Commissioner may take 'all reasonable and necessary measures to prevent the transmission of infectious disease' (26:13-12); a quarantined person 'shall obey the commissioner's orders' (26:13-15(d)). N.J.S.A. 26:4-2 (Exs. DUT-NJ-001 s. 31, DUT-NJ-002) gives the Department and every local board power to 'maintain and enforce proper and sufficient quarantine,' remove infected persons and 'disinfect any premises,' with the Department overseeing 'the uniform exercise of these powers' during a declared public health emergency; N.J.S.A. 26:4-129 (Ex. DUT-NJ-003) penalizes any person who 'fails to perform any duty imposed by this chapter.' N.J.A.C. 8:57-1.11 (Ex. DUT-NJ-012) requires written isolation and quarantine orders on report of a communicable disease and commands that 'any person who is responsible for the care, custody, or control of a person who is ill or infected... shall take all measures necessary to prevent transmission.' Third, the State Sanitary Code has 'the force and effect of law' and 'shall be enforced by each local board of health, the local police authorities and other enforcement agencies' (26:1A-9, Ex. DUT-NJ-004), each violation 'a separate offense' punishable by $50 to $1,000 (26:1A-10, Ex. DUT-NJ-005); its retail-food chapter excludes any worker 'affected with any disease in a communicable form... or... acute respiratory infection' from food work and directs the person in charge to 'relieve him or her of duties' (8:24-2.2, Ex. DUT-NJ-011), and lets the health authority order corrective action, closure and the exclusion of infected employees (8:24-8.8, Ex. DUT-NJ-017); local boards 'shall examine into and prohibit... all causes of disease' and 'shall cause the same to be removed and abated at the expense of the owner' (26:3-46, Ex. DUT-NJ-016). Fourth, the workplace statutes: 'Every employer shall furnish a place of employment which shall be reasonably safe and healthful for employees... including methods of sanitation and hygiene' (34:6A-3, Ex. DUT-NJ-009); public employers 'shall... [p]rovide... a place of employment which [is] free from recognized hazards' (34:6A-33, Ex. DUT-NJ-010); private-sector enforcement is federal under 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1) (text at Ex. DUT-CT-009). EO 192 (Ex. NJ-036) supplied the pandemic content for every in-person worksite from November 5, 2020 ('is required to abide by the following requirements, at minimum'), incorporating CDC recommendations and DOH guidance by command, with a Department of Labor complaint intake, Department of Health inspections and subpoenas, and closure under 26:13-8; EO 243 paras. 1-2 and EO 242 para. 3 carried those requirements past June 4, 2021 (Exs. NJ-051, NJ-050). N.J.A.C. 12:70 (Ex. DUT-NJ-014, effective Aug. 10, 2020) prohibited penalizing an employee who took recommended time off for an infectious disease. Fifth, the liability shield: P.L. 2020, c. 18 (Ex. DUT-NJ-007) immunized health care professionals and facilities only, and only for acts 'in the course of providing medical services in support of the State's response' or 'undertaken in good faith... to prevent the spread of COVID-19,' expiring September 1, 2021 (P.L. 2021, c. 103, s. 2, Ex. NJ-053); the general business shield, A4189 (Ex. DUT-NJ-008), was introduced June 1, 2020 and never enacted, so every other employer kept its full duty of care, measured by the instruments above. Sixth, the operating conditions: EO 107 ('must close,' 'must, wherever practicable, provide pickup,' 'shall abide by social distancing practices to the extent practicable,' 'must accommodate their workforce, wherever practicable, for telework'), EO 122 ('must adopt policies that include, at minimum'; 'Continue to follow guidelines and directives issued by the New Jersey Department of Health, the CDC and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration'), EO 150 para. 1(c) ('Satisfy all standards issued by DOH'), EO 157 ('provided that such businesses adopt policies that they comply with the standards issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs and DOH'), EO 183 para. 1(f) ('Abide by all other health and safety standards issued by the Commissioner of DOH'), EO 242 ('must continue to abide by all other current health and safety standards'), and the DOH directives ('must adhere to the protocols listed below,' Exs. NJ-069, NJ-070; 'shall comply with the attached Department of Health standards,' Ex. NJ-075; 'shall adhere to guidance by the Centers for Disease Control,' Ex. NJ-073). Seventh, the Attorney General's December 2020 enforcement releases (Exs. DUT-NJ-015, DUT-NJ-018) charged licensees for failing to 'enforce face covering requirements for patrons and employees,' 'maintain a six-foot minimum distance between dining tables' and 'enforce social distancing among employees and patrons,' stating that those who 'flout curfews, seating restrictions, face covering mandates, and other mitigation measures will face consequences.' Nothing in this State's record was voluntary.

The phase question

Whether the measures New Jersey employers took 'beyond' the emergency orders were voluntary within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14. New Jersey answer: they were the performance of duties imposed by the Civilian Defense and Disaster Control Act (N.J.S.A. App. A:9-40, -45, -49, -50: orders on the conduct of persons 'binding upon each and every person within this State'; disorderly-persons offense), the Emergency Health Powers Act (N.J.S.A. 26:13-3, -8, -12, -15), the communicable-disease title (N.J.S.A. 26:4-2, -129), the State Sanitary Code with 'the force and effect of law' (N.J.S.A. 26:1A-9, -10; N.J.A.C. 8:57-1.11, 8:24-2.2, 8:24-8.8), nuisance law (N.J.S.A. 26:3-46), the Worker Health and Safety Act (N.J.S.A. 34:6A-3) and PEOSHA (N.J.S.A. 34:6A-33) with the federal general duty clause, the Department of Labor's COVID-19 rule (N.J.A.C. 12:70), and orders that made continued operation conditional on Department of Health standards (EO 107, 122, 150, 157, 183, 192, 242, 243), enforced by prosecution, license suspension and closure under N.J.S.A. 26:13-8; the Legislature granted no immunity to businesses outside health care.

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

6. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in New Jersey with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 301 instruments in force for this selection: 51 instruments from the State of New Jersey (Governor Philip D. Murphy, New Jersey Executive Order 107 (Mar. 21, 2020; paras. 10-11 rescinded by EO 243 eff. June 4, 2021) (Ex. NJ-004); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 153 (2020) (June 9, 2020) (Ex. NJ-022); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 104 (2020) (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. NJ-002); and 48 more), 32 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of New Jersey (New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (Acting Director), SR 2020-10 Special Ruling Establishing Temporary COVID-19 Permit to Expand Licensed Premises (June 3, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-ALCOHOL-035); Division of Gaming Enforcement, Director David L. Rebuck, Order Approving Standards for Review of Casino Reopening Plans (June 29, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-018); Division of Gaming Enforcement, Director David L. Rebuck, Order Temporarily Suspending Casino and Retail Sports Wagering Operations (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-080); and 29 more), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex. FED-097); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-190); and 176 more) and 39 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-001); Congress (OSH Act § 11(c)), 29 U.S.C. 660(c) (OSH Act § 11(c), anti-retaliation) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-002); and 37 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: CB (Ex. AGY-ST-ALCOHOL-035); WF workforce (Ex. NJ-004); CB patients (Ex. NJ-006); OF administration (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-029); OF reporting (Ex. NJ-083); BA (Ex. AGY-ST-ALCOHOL-035); CB customer access (Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-028); HR staffing (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-028); IC infection control (Ex. NJ-084); VS visitation (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-062).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Philip D. Murphy, New Jersey Executive Order 107 (Mar. 21, 2020; paras. 10-11 rescinded by EO 243 eff. June 4, 2021) (Ex. NJ-004) ordered: "Para. 2: "All New Jersey residents shall remain home or at their place of residence unless they are 1) obtaining goods or services from essential retail businesses... 2) obtaining takeout food or beverages... 3) seeking medical attention, essential social services, or assistance from law enforcement…" Enforcement: Para. 25: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50; para. 24: duty of every person or entity doing business in the State to cooperate; EO 108 (NJ-005) invalidated… Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 153 (2020) (June 9, 2020) (Ex. NJ-022) ordered: "Para. 11: "Paragraph 2 of Executive Order No. 107 (2020), which requires New Jersey residents to remain home or at their place of residence with limited exceptions, is hereby rescinded." Para. 4: "All recreational and entertainment businesses that were closed to the public by paragraph 9 of…" Enforcement: Para. 18: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50 Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 104 (2020) (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. NJ-002) ordered: "Para. 1: "All gatherings of persons in the State of New Jersey shall be limited to 50 persons or fewer"... Para. 2: "All public, private, and parochial preschool program premises, and elementary and secondary schools... shall be closed to students beginning on Wednesday, March 18, 2020"... Para. 7…" Enforcement: Para. 14: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50; para. 12: no municipality or county may enact conflicting orders The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. New Jersey Executive Order 107 (Mar. 21, 2020; paras. 10-11 rescinded by EO 243 eff. June… (Ex. NJ-004) was in force from Mar. 21, 2020 to June 9, 2020, 81 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order No. 153 (2020) (Ex. NJ-022) was in force from June 9, 2020 to July 2, 2020, 22 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order No. 104 (2020) (Ex. NJ-002) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to Mar. 21, 2020, 6 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 83 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 55 on its last day and 3 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2021 the Library holds 255 instruments in force for this selection: 29 instruments from the State of New Jersey (Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 150 (2020) (June 3, 2020) (Ex. NJ-020); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 242 (2021) (May 24, 2021) (Ex. NJ-050); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 149 (2020) (May 29, 2020) (Ex. NJ-019); and 26 more), 17 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of New Jersey (Judith Persichilli, Commissioner of Health, Executive Directive No. 21-007 (original, June 14, 2021) (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-059); New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (Director), AO 2021-01 Administrative Order Extending Certain COVID-19 Expansion Permits (Mar. 19, 2021) (Ex. AGY-ST-ALCOHOL-041); Judith Persichilli, Commissioner of Health, Executive Directive No. 21-006 (June 15, 2021) (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-060); and 14 more), 167 federal instruments (Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); U.S. House of Representatives (H.Res. 965, 116th Cong., agreed to May 15, 2020), H.Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives and providing for official remote committee proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus (May 15, 2020) (Ex. FED-398); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); and 164 more) and 42 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex.

Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: IC infection control (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-060); HR staffing (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-059); WF workforce (Ex. NJ-019); OF reporting (Ex. NJ-083); PM property management (Ex. NJ-003); CB (Ex. AGY-ST-DMV-SOS-RECORDERS-087); CB tenants and borrowers (Ex. NJ-003); CL closings on foreclosed property (Ex. NJ-003); DX diagnostics (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-030); HR credentialing (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-024).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 150 (2020) (June 3, 2020) (Ex. NJ-020) ordered: "Para. 1: "Effective at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, June 15, 2020, restaurants, cafeterias, dining establishments, and food courts, with or without a liquor license, bars, and all other holders of a liquor license with retail consumption privileges, collectively referred to as 'food or beverage…" Enforcement: Para. 10: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50; DOH standards (ED 20-014, NJ-069) incorporated by para. 3 Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 242 (2021) (May 24, 2021) (Ex. NJ-050) ordered: "Para. 1: "Effective Friday, May 28, 2021, individuals in indoor public spaces are not required to wear masks, regardless of their ability to maintain six feet of distance from other individuals or groups... Employers and entities overseeing public spaces... are permitted to impose stricter…" Enforcement: Para. 21: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50 Judith Persichilli, Commissioner of Health, Executive Directive No. 21-007 (original, June 14, 2021) (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-059) ordered: "hereby order and direct the following: [facilities that] reopen shall comply with the protocols set forth below. Prior to reopening, the facility shall file with the Department an attestation of compliance with these guidelines. A facility must submit [the attestation before serving participants]...…" Enforcement: N.J.S.A. 26:13-19; N.J.A.C. 8:43F licensure The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. Executive Order No. 150 (2020) (Ex. NJ-020) was in force from June 3, 2020 to Jan. 1, 2022, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Executive Order No. 242 (2021) (Ex. NJ-050) was in force from May 28, 2021 to Jan. 1, 2022, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Executive Directive No. 21-007 (original, June 14, 2021) (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-059) was in force from June 14, 2021 to Jan. 11, 2022, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 46 instruments in the quarter's record, 37 were in force on its first day, 42 on its last day and 34 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

8. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
