House Bill H.R. 6201

On March 14th, the House passed H.R. 6201 in response to the spread of COVID-19 across the United States which it then revisited on March 16th. The revised bill provides that private-sector employers with fewer than 500 employees, and covered public-sector employers, must provide up to 12 weeks of job-protected FMLA leave for “a qualifying need related to a public health emergency” to employees who have been on the payroll for 30 calendar days.
