The FFCRA amended the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to now provide for up to 12 weeks of paid, family and medical leave, for eligible employees who are unable to work because they are caring for a child (or children) whose school is closed or whose child care provider is no longer available because of COVID-19. The first 10 days of this leave, however, may be taken as unpaid leave, but an employee has the right to substitute and use any accrued or available PTO, vacation, or sick time during that first 10 days.
