Session 2 – March 30, 2020 – The FFCRA and the CARES Act



In this week’s special bonus episode of the Remote Weekly Business Forum with ABC and Arcade we’re talking to some experts about the new legislation addressing the COVID-19 crisis to better understand how they impact the construction industry.

Today, we talked about:

  • The new guidance from the DOL that says that non-essential employees are NOT qualified for the 80 hours of sick time that the FFCRA provides
  • The new CARES Act, and specifically the Paycheck Protection Program
  • Details about the FFCRA and how it works for your essential employees
  • Details about the PPP and how to make it work for you

We’d like to thank our experts from this episode:

  • Jason Jocson of BBSI
  • Andy Cates of Moss Adams
  • Terry Polyak of Insperity
  • Candice Pfluger of BDO USA
  • Karen Forner of Employer Solutions Law
