- 100% for an individual subject to a quarantine related to COVID-19, up to $511 daily and $5,110 total
- 2/3 for caring for an individual who is subject to quarantine due to COVID-19, or is in self-quarantine recommended by a healthcare provider, up to $200 daily and $2,000 total
- Up to 10 weeks more of paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave paid at 2/3 for caring for a child whose school is closed due to COVID-19, up to $200 daily and $12,000 total.
A part-time employee is eligible for leave for the number of hours that the employee is normally scheduled to work over that period.
All covered employers must post this notice even if their state provides greater protections than the FFCRA.
