Tory Summey was quoted in an article on the Society for Human Resource Management's website. Tory provided analysis of how remote schooling will impact paid leave requests under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). 

"There will remain uncertainty over whether an employer can deny a request for intermittent leave to care for a child" who is learning remotely from home, Tory explained. That uncertainty is the result of a federal ruling this month. Until that ruling is appealed or the U.S. Department of Labor provides additional guidance, employers should consider permitting all employees to take intermittent leave to care for a child whose school or place of care is physically closed, even if the school is still providing remote education.
