Employers should immediately post THIS VERSION in a conspicuous spot in the workplace such as an employee break room. If the majority of employees are presently working remotely, employers should distribute this notice by email to all current employees and all new hires. The notice need not be distributed to any employees who have been furloughed or terminated. Employees furloughed or terminated prior to April 1, 2020, the effective date of this Act, are not eligible for these leaves.
