I have received a number of inquiries from staff concerning the potential use of time away due to the current pandemic. Specific questions have related to child care issues, intermittent leave, and the use of employer provided PTO to either replace or supplement that which is provided by law. I do not expect anyone to have attorney level understanding as these are frankly complicated issues that even have the attorneys confused. That being said, I have reproduced below some of the recent DOL guidance that speaks to scenarios likely to arise; I ask that you read it and consider it before calling to discuss your situation with me.
