-<WRAP round intro>This utility allows you to track and calculate Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) payments by creating extra duty transmittals based on the entered criteria.  
- 
-The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) provides for paid sick leave and an expanded, and paid, extension to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) from the Federal government.  
- 
-Under the FFCRA, two new emergency paid leave requirements were created:  
- 
-  * Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) - Entitles certain employees to take up to two weeks of paid sick leave. 
-  * Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA) - An amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act Permits, permits certain employees to take up to twelve weeks of expanded family and medical leave, two of which are unpaid, for specified reasons related to COVID-19. 
- 
-For additional details about the FFCRA and to make specific determinations about leave eligibility, reference the [[https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/06/2020-07237/paid-leave-under-the-families-first-coronavirus-response-act|Paid Leave Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act]] article.

- 
-Prior to using this utility, use the Payroll > Tables > Leave page to create and set up the leave descriptions and types that will be used for FFCRA payments. Be sure to create separate leave types for pay types 1 & 2 and pay types 3 & 4 as they will function differently.  
- 
-VCV For pay types 1 & 2: 
-  * [[payroll:tables:leave:leavetype| Payroll > Tables > Leave > Leave Type]] tab: 
-    * In the **Status** field, select //A - Active// 
-    * In the **Days/Hrs** field, select //Days// 
-    * Select **Subtract From Balance**.  
-    * Select **Dock With Balance**. 
-  * [[payroll:tables:leave:leaverates|Payroll > Tables > Leave > Leave Rates]] 
-    *  In the **Dock Type** field, select //F - Full daily rate//. 
- 
- 
-VCV For pay types 3 & 4:

-    * Select **Subtract From Balance**.  
-    * **Do not** select **Dock With Balance**. 
-  * [[payroll:tables:leave:leaverates|Payroll > Tables > Leave > Leave Rates]] 
-    * In the **Dock Type** field, select //N - Don't dock, but accrue leave//. 
- 
-<WRAP box> 
-**Note**: Pay type 3 employees who are paid using the **Reg Hrs Worked** will require additional leave type transactions to be posted in order to dock the employee so that they are not overpaid. 
-</WRAP> 
- 
- 
-VCV Ensure that the appropriate leave type(s) are assigned to the applicable employees on the [[payroll:maintenance:leaveaccounttransaction:staffleavemaint|Payroll > Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data > Leave Balance]] tab.

-VCV Enter leave transactions for the applicable employees using the appropriate leave type on the [[payroll:maintenance:leaveaccounttransaction:staffleavemaint|Payroll > Maintenance > Leave Account Transaction > Staff Leave Maint]] tab. Be sure that all leave transmittals are posted using a days unit even if the employee's regular leave is in hours.

-</div> 
-\\ 
-  * The calculations are based on the leave types assigned on the page. If different leave types were used in prior payrolls, those amounts will not be included in the calculated calendar YTD amounts. 
-  * Amounts are based on the pay rate recorded in the associated job history record for the pay date. 
-  * If you updated the calendar YTD amounts, this process will reset all of the amounts to zero for the 2020 calendar year and recalculate the amounts for pay dates beginning in April through December.  
-  * Once the process is complete, the amounts are updated on the [[payroll:maintenance:calendarytddata:calendarytd|Payroll > Maintenance > Calendar YTD Data > Calendar YTD]] tab for W-2 processing.    
-  * You can generate the W-2 validation report to verify that the amounts are correct.
