As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the local health department have encouraged workers who are sick to stay home. Benefits such as sick leave and family leave can help employees follow these guidelines during this precarious time. Currently, there are no national standards on paid family or sick leave. The current system is a patchwork of federal, state, local policies along with those that have been negotiated through labor contracts.
