Implications of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act for Roofing Contractors
By Benjamin Lowenthal
Late on March 18, 2020, after being passed earlier in the day by the U.S. Senate, President Donald Trump signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the “Families First Act”). The legislation is the second in what’s expected to be a series of bills designed to address the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. It contains a number of employment related provisions that will have a direct impact on the roofing industry and construction contractors with fewer than 500 employees.
