Where a corporation has an ownership interest in another corporation, the two corporations are separate employers unless they are joint employers under the FLSAВ with respect to certain employees. Typically, a corporation (including its separate establishments or divisions) is considered to be a single employer and its employees must each be counted towards the 500-employee threshold. Workers who are independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), rather than employees, are not considered employees for purposes of the 500-employee threshold. In making this determination, you should include employees on leave temporary employees who are jointly employed by you and another employer (regardless of whether the jointly-employed employeesВ are maintained on only your or another employerвЂ™s payroll) and day laborers supplied by a temporary agency (regardless of whether you are the temporary agency or the client firm if there is a continuing employment relationship). You have fewer than 500 employees if, at the time your employeeвЂ™s leave is to be taken, you employ fewer than 500 full-time and part-time employees within the United States, which includes any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any Territory or possession of the United States. As an employer, how do I know if my business is under the 500-employee threshold and therefore must provide paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave?.The FFCRAвЂ™s paid leave provisions are effective on April 1, 2020, and apply to leave taken between April 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020.
