But it is difficult to support them when your business is struggling. Small businesses in America have never faced a bigger challenge than the one we face right now.&nbsp; But there is hope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small businesses are the biggest employers in the US. The federal government recognizes the importance of making sure these businesses are supported in order to avoid mass unemployment. One way they are aiming to provide this support is through the highly publicized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/sba-loan-application\">Paycheck Protection Program.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll explore another way you can support your staff, through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Families_First_Coronavirus_Response_Act_FFCRA\"><\/span>What is the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/treasury-irs-and-labor-announce-plan-to-implement-coronavirus-related-paid-leave-for-workers-and-tax-credits-for-small-and-midsize-businesses-to-swiftly-recover-the-cost-of-providing-coronavirus\">The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)<\/a> gives small to medium-sized employers the opportunity to take advantage of two new refundable payroll tax credits, designed to immediately and fully reimburse them, dollar-for-dollar, for the cost of providing Coronavirus-related leave to their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small to midsize businesses include those with less than 500 employees. These businesses will be reimbursed for offering paid leave at 100% of employee\u2019s pay for up to two weeks. The paid leave should be used for COVID-19 related issues. FFCRA also includes up to 80 hours of childcare leave when schools are closed or childcare is unavailable for the children of employees.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Will_The_FFCRA_Impact_Small_Businesses\"><\/span>How Will The FFCRA Impact Small Businesses?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The FFCRA gives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/customers\">small business owners<\/a> the funds they need to provide their team with paid leave. This makes sure employees are able to put the health of themselves and their families first without sacrificing their paycheck.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that FFCRA will work is that small businesses will be able to claim the two tax credits based on qualifying leave they provide between the start date and December 31, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small businesses that successfully claim and report the two FFCRA tax credits will be able to receive a full dollar-for-dollar refund. This reimbursement will be quick and easy to obtain so businesses aren\u2019t penalized for doing the right thing by their employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paid_Leave_Benefits_Employers_Must_Provide\"><\/span>Paid Leave Benefits Employers Must Provide&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to claim these tax credits, you will need to provide their employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for reasons related to COVID-19. These benefits include the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paid_sick_leave_for_employees\"><\/span>Paid sick leave for employees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees can receive up to 80 hours (2 weeks) of paid sick leave at 100% of pay up to $511 per day or $5,110 total for the 80 hours. This is for employees who cannot work due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quarantine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>COVID-19 Symptoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seeking a medical diagnosis&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paid_sick_leave_for_caregiving\"><\/span>Paid sick leave for caregiving&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the 2 weeks of paid sick leave at 100% of their pay, employees can also receive up to 80 hours of paid leave at \u2154 their pay. If they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>caring for someone in quarantine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>caring for a child because schools are inaccessible due to the pandemic&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/whd\/pandemic\/ffcra-employee-paid-leave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The Department of Labor <\/a>will be administering and enforcing the new law\u2019s paid leave requirements.

The FFCRA has recently expanded the FMLA to allow 10 weeks of leave for employees to care for a child who is out of school due to COVID-19 reasons. With this benefit, employees are paid \u2154 of their regular pay up to $200 a pay of $10,000 in total.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_Credits_Coronavirus_Paid_Leave_for_Employers\"><\/span>Tax Credits: Coronavirus Paid Leave for Employers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Tax_Credits_are_Available\"><\/span>What Tax Credits are Available?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paid_sick_leave_credit_caregiver_credit\"><\/span><strong>Paid sick leave credit caregiver credit&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers can get a refundable sick leave credit equal to the amount paid to employees for eligible paid sick leave.

You can claim these tax credits using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Form 941<\/a>. This is the form you would typically use to report quarterly tax withholding.

As an employer you\u2019ll want to document&nbsp; eligible paid leave for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quarter 2 (April-June, due June 30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarter 3 (July-September, due Sep 30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarter 4 (October-December, due December 31)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If a due date lands on a holiday or Saturday and Sunday, the adjusted due date will be the following business day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this difficult period, all small businesses are encouraged to use the resources available to help you through this crisis so you can get back to business as usual. As well as the FFCRA for employees, there are a number of other <a href=\"https:\/\/northone.com\/blog\/financial-management\/small-business-disaster-assistance-guide\">disaster assistance programs<\/a> you can take advantage of to get the support you need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know as a small business owner you care about your employees and their families.
