116. 80 HOURS OF EMERGENCY LEAVE WITH PAY - COVID-19 EXTENSION Approve the use of up to 80 hours of Emergency Leave with Pay (prorated for part-time employees) for employees who test positive for COVID-19 retroactively to 1/1/2021 through 6/30/2022 unless rescinded earlier by the Board of Supervisors. Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, employees who tested positive for COVID-19 could use up to 80 hours of Emergency Leave with Pay from 4/1/2020 till 12/31/2020. On 1/27/2021, the Board of Supervisors approved up to 80 hours of Emergency Leave with Pay (prorated for part-time employees) for employees who test positive for COVID-19 (C-31-21-057-X-00). On 5/19/2021, the Board of Supervisors extended the use of this Emergency Leave with Pay until 12/31/2021 (C-31-21-057-X-01). Employees who tested positive for COVID-19 from 1/1/2021 till 1/27/2021 were not eligible as they were not covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act nor the Emergency Leave with Pay approved by the Board of Supervisors on 1/27/2021. Allowing the previously approved leave to go retroactive to 1/1/2021 will cover those employees who tested positive during those few weeks. Extending the use of this leave till 6/30/2022 will help the County mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on employees. (C-31-21-057-X-02)
