The PAID Leave Act closes loopholes in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) like limited paid sick days and paid leave, the paid leave mandate exemptions for large businesses whose employees make up a majority of the labor force, and the narrow list of reasons one might be able to take leave under the FFCRA.
