Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, there are a lot of questions concerning the Emergency paid leave for workers.

For More Information:

FFCRA-Employee-paid-leave

FMLA-Pandemic

PenSoft will not be implementing this into the program at this time due to the complexity of the perimeters needed to determine which employees are to receive the sick leave and to what extent. PenSoft suggest that a COVID-19 Leave and Expanded FMLA get created in the program for track purposes.  Pensoft will continually monitor the filing requirements set further by the government to make determinations of the impact on our customers and modification to the program.

Form 7200 will not be added to the program, however, there is a fillable PDF
