The FFCRA establishes the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (Division C) and the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (Division E). These divisions of the FFCRA require certain employers to provide expanded family, medical, and sick leave to employees that are unable to work (or telework) due to certain circumstances related to COVID-19. Both Acts of the FFCRA are to be administered by the U.S. Department of Labor.

The paid leave provisions of the FFCRA apply to employers with less than 500 employees and are expected to go into effect by April 2, 2020, and expire at the end of 2020 unless extended.
