Farms that received money through the Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act might have to pay sick leave for employees off work because of the virus.
The program’s rules say that, to help small businesses like farms deal with those payments, the federal government will provide dollar-for-dollar reimbursement through tax credits.
Farms would have to pay up to 80 hours of sick leave, at full wages, to any W-2 employees who are unable to work because of the virus.
