      Sick and Leave Pay

      Sick and leave pay is a benefit pay that is configured within EBMS.   The software is not limited to these benefit pay types.   This section will use these pay types as examples of benefit pay options within the labor module.    Review the parameters of these benefit pay types with a consultant or account to verify that rates, minimums, and the amount of benefit pay hours are properly configured.

      The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) administers and enforces the new law’s paid leave requirements. These provisions will apply from the effective date through December 31, 2020.  Review link for details.
