As you are likely aware, all employers under 500 employees are required to offer Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and Emergency Family Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLA) as of 4/1/20 in accordance to the rules set forth in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. HR Solutions Group has been closely monitoring the guidance from Federal and State agencies and our trusted legal counsel providers. We have created a resource toolkit to assist our clients to navigate through these uncharted times. Please note, our toolkit is being updated on a daily / almost hourly basis based on DOL & legal guidance. 

Based on the types of requests from our clients, we have the following resources prepared to help you quickly & efficiently prepare for compliance and administration of the new requirements:
