Background:
|
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) provided employees with Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL) for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. While the FFCRA expired on December 31, 2020, the Board approved extension of the EPSL through June 30, 2021. In the July 2021 board cycle, the Board approved a limited implementation of EPSL through June 16, 2022. The Administration is now seeking the Board's approval to extend a further limited provision of the EPSL benefit through June 30, 2023.
Under this extension, emergency paid sick leave will be available for employees as outlined in the attached policy document. The proposed extension will be superseded by any COVID-19 leave benefits enacted by the state or federal government that MPS is mandated to follow. This leave entitlement is in addition to an employee's regular sick leave balance.
