For a general discussion of current workplace leave policies and UI programs and benefits, including considerations related to COVID-19, see CRS Insight INi 1233, Workplace Leave and Unemployment Insurance for Individuals Affected by COVID-19. For additional legislation introduced related to UI and COVID-19, see CRS Report R45478, Unemployment Insurance: Legislative Issues in the 11 6th Congress. Paid Leave Provisions in H.R. 6201 H.R. 6201, as amended by H.Res. 904 (amendment text available at Congressiona1 Record. March 16, 2020, p. H1698) contains two paid leave provisions: (1) providing for paid family and medical leave in certain instances for needs related to a COVID-19 public health emergency and (2) providing for paid sick leave for a similar but more expansive set of needs. In terms of private-sector coverage, the provisions apply only to eligible employees who are employed by employers with fewer than 500 employees. The bill also includes tax credit provisions to help employers cover costs related to paid leave requirements; self-employed individuals, including gig >:, are similarly eligible for tax credits if they are unable to perform services in their trade or business for reasons discussed below. Both provisions allow employers of health care providers and emergency responders to exclude such employees from the application of the leave provisions. Further, both provisions would allow the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations that exempt from the new leave provisions: (1) certain health care workers and emergency responders and (2) employers with fewer than 50 employees if the leave requirements would jeopardize the viability of the business as a going concern. Both paid leave provisions would take effect no later than 15 days after the bill's enactment and expire on December 31, 2020.
