SBA Paycheck Protection Program for Small Businesses to Keep Their Workers on the Payroll
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) published (March 24, 2020) its first round of implementation guidance pursuant to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The guidance addresses critical questions such as:
- How does an employer count its number of employees to determine coverage?
- How can small businesses obtain an exemption?
- How does an employer count hours for part-time employees?
- How does an employer calculate wages employees are entitled to under the FFCRA?
The initial WHD guidance is available in three-parts:
- Paycheck Protection Program FAQs (04/07/2009:56 AMET )
- The Small Business Owner’s Guide to the CARES Act (03/27/2011:02 AMET )
