On October 1, 2020, The WHDI submitted its Amicus Curiae position in support of the Petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court for a proper standard for decertification of an FLSA collective action based on the fundamental principles of due process and fundamental fairness.
On Friday, September 11, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor released updated regulations that include clarification of who qualifies for employer paid sick leave under the FFCRA. Among other clarifications, the DOL reaffirmed its position that leave under the FFCRA can be taken "only if the employee has work from which to take leave."
A link to the DOL's temporary rule, published on September 16, 2020, rule can be assessed here.
