So.. the company is going to take it now... and then the government is going to take it back next year?

By signing the agreement, the company’s employees would have their paychecks between April 6 and April 20 cut by 100% of any money received under the stimulus bill.


Yeah I am not signing that.

I guarantee this is a company that pushes for H1-B visas. Nothing against people that do that, but it all sounds like something Conduent or some shite company, that governments and F500's hire, would do.

It not only cuts cost for them but favors H1-Bs over citizens, assuming those employees don't get stimulus checks.

“It’s a stimulus not unemployment. It’s to help the entire economy stimulate, not just those in trouble”

Yeeeah, so why is the company basically trying to take it from the employees, for themselves? Is the company not operating?

Shelter-in-Place and Business Closure Orders do Not Likely Support the Need for EPSL: Although it did not carve out a specific question for these types of orders, the DOL appears ready to deny EPSL to those covered by these sweeping orders. In FAQ #27, the DOL notes:

If, prior to the FFCRA’s effective date, your employer sent you home and stops paying you because it does not have work for you to do, you will not get paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave but you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. This is true whether your employer closes your worksite for lack of business or because it is required to close pursuant to a Federal, State, or local directive.

Similarly, in FAQ #28, the DOL states:

If your employer reduces your work hours because it does not have work for you to perform, you may not use paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for the hours that you are no longer scheduled to work.

This language seems to indicate that EPSL is not available to those covered by shelter-in-place and business closure orders at the state and local level (though employees whose child’s school or childcare is unavailable would still be eligible for FMLA+ for that reason alone).
The DOL recently sent new guidance...its not going to be a free for all that many thought it would be. Here is a sample but I suggest you read the entire FAQ before you bash the company for following the law.

Not sure about this. Is there an option to decline the govt check?

Doesn’t seem like a good idea either way.




That's not how it works. If these employees are still actually working, then they're trying to get free labor at the government's expense. Also, the company would not necessarily know everyone's full tax information...so the employee would have to voluntarily give that up which the company can't make them do. I'd just tell them my wife is a doctor and we make over 200k a year.

Yep. Going to be a line item on next year's taxes. It isn't free money, as of right now, the way it is written.
