Empleadores pueden otorgar licencia pagada debido a COVID-19

Bajo la Ley de Familias Primero en Respuesta al Coronavirus, los empleadores pueden otorgar licencia paga a un empleado para atender sus necesidades de salud relacionadas al COVID-19 o para cuidar a sus familiares.  Este alivio ayuda a garantizar que los empleados no tengan que escoger entre recibir un pago o quedarse en la casa para cuidarse, a un niño u otro miembro de la familia.
Además del alivio para empleados, los negocios ahora pueden reclamar dos nuevos créditos reembolsables de impuestos sobre la nómina para otorgarle licencia pagada a sus empleados. El crédito de la licencia pagada por enfermedad para trabajadores y el crédito por licencia familiar están disponibles a los empleadores elegibles que pagan salarios de licencia por enfermedad y/o salarios por licencia familiar calificados desde el 1^ro de abril de 2020 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020 y que tienen menos de 500 empleados.
El crédito por licencia pagada por enfermedad reembolsará de inmediato y por completo a los empleadores el costo de proporcionar licencia relacionada con COVID-19 y la Ley CARES.
Aquí esta lo que los empleadores deben saber acerca de la licencia pagada bajo la Ley CARES.

Licencia pagada por enfermedad para trabajadores

Un empleador puede permitir a un empleado a tiempo completo hasta 80 horas de licencia médica pagada. También, a un empleado a tiempo parcial se le puede otorgar licencia médica pagada por la cantidad de horas que trabaja durante un período de dos semanas, si el empleado no puede trabajar o cumplir sus funciones de trabajo desde el hogar debido a:
Órdenes de cuarentena o aislamiento relacionado a COVID-19 por órdenes federales, estatales o locales.
Órdenes de cuarentena relacionada a COVID-10 por un proveedor de atención médica.
Solicitud de diagnóstico médico debido a síntomas de COVID-19.
Cuidado de una persona sujeta a aislamiento relacionado a COVID-10 por órdenes federales, estatales o locales.
Cuidado de un niño cuya escuela o centro de cuidado infantil está cerrado por motivos relacionados al COVID-19
Cualquier otra condición sustancialmente similar.
Los empleadores pagan los beneficios al 100 por ciento de la tarifa regular de pago del empleado, hasta $511 por día y $5,110 en total, por el cuidado de la salud del empleado.
Para el cuidado de los familiares del empleado, los empleadores pagan los beneficios de dos tercios de la tarifa de pago regular del empleado, hasta $200 por día y $2,000 en total.

Crédito de licencia de cuidado infantil

Un empleador puede otorgar hasta 10 semanas de licencia familiar renumerada a dos tercios de su pago regular de hasta $200 por día y $10,000 en total si el empleado no puede trabajar o cumplir sus funciones de trabajo desde su casa debido al cuidado y:
La escuela o centro de cuidado infantil está cerrado debido a COVID-19
El proveedor de cuidado infantil no está disponible debido a COVID-19
Con dos semanas de licencia pagada por enfermedad y 10 semanas de licencia familiar pagada combinadas, un empleado puede recibir hasta $12,000 de licencia pagada para cuidar a un niño.

ARTIST PROFILE: KARELLE LEVY The Miami Beach Arts and Culture team joined Miami Beach Artist Karelle Levy to take a look inside the artist's studio during the quarantine. Parisian-born and Miami-raised fiber artist and designer Karelle Levy (AKA KREL) has been making fabric since a young age. As a performance and textile artist, Levy began creating large-scale installations and works on canvas. When the world changed course, Levy was able to pivot within days to face-cover design, prototyping and production, donating $10 from each face cover to help fund meals for local hospital workers fighting to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. Karelle will join FIU's MBUS tonight, May 27 at 6 p.m. as part of their MBUS Virtual Art Talk 2020 series.   Connect with Karelle via Instagram or her website.

Auto Dealership Bronx Honda, General Manager to Pay $1.5 Million to Settle FTC Charges They Discriminated Against African-American, Hispanic Car Buyers

Auto Dealership Bronx Honda, General Manager to Pay $1.5 Million to Settle FTC Charges They Discriminated Against African-American, Hispanic Car Buyers Complaint also alleges deceptive advertising, bogus fees, price inflation and other practices New York City car dealer Bronx Honda and its general manager, Carlo Fittanto, will pay $1.5 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges they discriminated against African-American and Hispanic car buyers and engaged in numerous other illegal business practices. According to the FTC’s complaint, the defendants told sales people to charge higher financing markups and fees to African-American and Hispanic customers. The defendants told employees that these groups should be targeted due to their limited education, and not to attempt the same practices with non-Hispanic white consumers. According to the complaint, African-American and Hispanic customers paid more for financing than similarly situated non-Hispanic white consumers. The complaint alleges that African-American consumers were charged about $163 more in interest than similarly situated non-Hispanic white consumers, while Hispanic consumers were charged about $211 more in interest. In addition to alleged racial discrimination, the defendants are charged with numerous illegal practices in the advertising and sales process that caused consumers to pay substantially more than they expect. The complaint alleges that the defendants: failed to honor advertised sale prices, inflating the cost through a variety of methods; changed the sales price on paperwork in the middle of the sale without telling the consumer, a practice the defendants internally referred to as adding “air money” to the contract; double-charged consumers for taxes and fees without their knowledge; and   told consumers that they had to pay thousands of dollars in unnecessary fees to purchase “certified pre-owned” cars that were not required by that program. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the FTC Act, the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). In addition to the $1.5 million payment that will be used to provide redress to consumers,  the settlements also prohibit Bronx Honda and Fittanto from misrepresenting the cost or terms to buy, lease, or finance a car, or whether a fee or charge is optional. They will also be required to establish a fair lending program that will, among other components, cap the amount of additional interest markup they can charge consumers. The FTC would like to thank the Bronx District Attorney’s Office for its invaluable assistance with the investigation and for its work as a law enforcement partner in protecting consumers. The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint and stipulated final order was 5-0. Commissioner Rohit Chopra and Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter each issued concurring statements. The FTC filed the complaint and final order in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the named defendants are violating or are about to violate the law and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. Stipulated final injunctions/orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court judge The Federal Trade Commission works to promote competition, and protect and educate consumers.
