Key Points: 
  • The FFCRA paid sick and family leave mandates expired on Dec. 31, 2020.
  • At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, 33 million Americans lacked a single day of paid sick time they could use for themselves or to care for a sick family member.
  • Today, the share of the workforce without access to paid sick time and extended family and medical leave remains largely unchanged.
  • Reinstating guaranteed emergency paid sick and family caregiving leave makes sense not only in the context of the current Omicron variant, but for the duration of the pandemic.
