Department of Labor approves COVID-19 leave if virus cancels children’s summer camp plans

Covered workers can take federal coronavirus leave to care for their children if COVID-19 disrupted a demonstrable plan to send them to summer camp, even if they were not enrolled when the virus hit, according to new guidance issued by the Department of Labor.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) enables employers to provide their workers with paid leave, while at the same time ensuring that workers are not forced to choose between their paychecks and the public health measures needed to combat the virus.
