Memo regarding paid COVID-19 sick leave

January 6, 2021

The Federal paid leave provisions for qualifying COVID-19 related absences have recently expired.  More specifically, the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA), both of which are under the umbrella of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), expired as of December 31, 2020 and are no longer available for use by employees.

With the expiration of the FFCRA, I write to inform you of New York State Quarantine leave that remains available to you. District employees continue to be eligible for the New York State Quarantine leave, which provides District employees fourteen (14) calendar days (typically up to ten work days for a full-time employee) of paid leave where the employee is placed under a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation issued by the state of New York, the Department of Health, local board of health, or any government entity duly authorized to issue such order due to COVID-19. However, this paid leave is not available to an employee that is able to work remotely, as determined by the Superintendent of Schools.
