Leave Due to COVID-19 Related Reasons
As you may know, the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA) were not extended beyond December 31, 2020.
As that leave is no longer in place, if you need to take leave due to COVID-19 related reasons, you will now need to utilize your accrued but unused leave provided by the District (i.e., sick, family illness, vacation or personal.) In that event, you should just enter your absences into the absence management system as you normally would.
