SPECIAL ALERT: Employers must review this additional U.S. Department of Labor guidance regarding implementation of the new Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
The Department of Labor has issued guidance on the new Families First Coronavirus Response Act.

Department of Labor opinion letter serves as reminder to employers that non-discretionary bonuses impact overtime pay calculations.
Supreme Court’s decision leaves Michigan’s Paid Medical Leave Act intact, for now.
