Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates from SRBX & CIEF

Update on PPP and EIDL Loans

4/17/2020

 
The funding capacity for The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) have both been reached as of April 15. Applications have been closed. 

​Congress is currently working on an additional stimulus package to increase the capacity of both the PPP and EIDL programs and the hope is that they can resolve their issues and come to an agreement to continue both programs. 

SRBX continues to advocate to our regional Congressional representatives for additional stimulus funds.

OSHA Issues COVID-19 Interim Enforcement Response Plan

OSHA Issues COVID-19 Interim Enforcement Response Plan
Continuing its recent trend to update employers on COVID-19 safety, on April 13, 2020, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued an Interim Enforcement Response Plan for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), providing specific guidance to all OSHA Regional Administrators and State Plan Designees on how to investigate potential COVID-19 hazards. The guidance addresses how OSHA offices should allocate resources for protecting workers across all industries. Here Cal/OSHA has a plethora of resources on their COVID-19 page

CARES Act

3/30/2020

 
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program,  the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses.

Importantly, these loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payrolls afterward. The United States Chamber of Commerce has developed this excellent  Emergency Loan guide and checklist  for Small Businesses.

FFCRA Notice Poster

3/30/2020

 
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or ACT) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. EMPLOYERS ARE REQUIRED TO POST THIS NOTICE IMMEDIATELY! These provisions will apply from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. 
  • All employers covered by the paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave provisions of the FFCRA (i.e., certain public sector employers and private sector employers with fewer than 500 employes) are required to post this notice.
  • The notice needs to be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees can see it. If they are able to see it at the main office, it is NOT necessary to display the notice at your different work-site locations. 
To download and print the notice to be posted click here.
