Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Wyoming Leave of Absence for COVID-19 is a specific employment policy designed to provide employees in Wyoming with job protection and benefits during times of need related to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It allows eligible workers to take time off from work while ensuring they continue to receive financial support and have job security upon their return. This measure acknowledges the challenges brought about by the pandemic and aims to alleviate the hardships faced by both employees and employers. Under the Wyoming Leave of Absence for COVID-19, there are primarily two types of leave options available: 1. Emergency Paid Sick Leave: This type of leave allows eligible employees to take up to 2 weeks (80 hours) of paid sick leave for specific Covid-19-related reasons. These reasons include being subject to a quarantine order, experiencing Covid-19 symptoms and seeking a diagnosis, caring for an individual under quarantine, or caring for a child whose school or care provider is closed due to Covid-19. During this leave, employees receive their regular pay rate. 2. Expanded Family & Medical Leave: In addition to the emergency paid sick leave, eligible employees may be entitled to an extended 12 weeks of job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This leave can be used when an employee needs to care for a child whose school or care provider is closed due to Covid-19. However, only the first two weeks of this leave are unpaid, while the remaining ten weeks are partially paid at a reduced rate. It is important to note that the Wyoming Leave of Absence for COVID-19 is subject to certain eligibility criteria, including the size of the employer and the duration of the employee's service. Employers should consult the relevant labor laws and regulations to ensure compliance and understand the specific requirements for implementing these leave options. By providing this framework of paid and unpaid leave, Wyoming aims to support its workforce during these unprecedented times, helping maintain public health while safeguarding employees' financial stability and job security.
