The President recently signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The Act addresses multiple ways for employers impacted by COVID-19 to seek federal support. Resourcing Edge believes it is important to note the services we provide to clients do not interfere with a client’s ability to qualify for a CARES Act loan, including the Paycheck Protection Program. We continue to be here for our clients to support you through this pandemic. To view the information, we have compiled about the Act, please review the helpful links above. We will continue to keep you informed on the Act through our resource center as more information is expected to come soon.
We ask that you contact your Client Account Manager to discuss any further questions you may have.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidance to businesses and employers in relation to COVID-19. The changes include details about when employees should return to work after being out due to illness during the pandemic. The guidance now states that “[s]ick employees should follow CDC-recommended steps . . . [and] [e]mployees should not return to work until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and local health departments.”
Should you have any further questions, we ask that you please contact your Client Account Manager.
