We're seeing that the new CARES act SBA loans will go through bank lenders, rather than SBA, even though they are 7a loans.

There will be both

Yes: If someone has applied for the SBA Disaster Relief funding already and then applies for a 7a loan they will not be penalized. Like any loan if they are approved they can choose to accept the terms of the loan or not and therefore pick the one that is most favorable to them.

That link isn't working for me

I did get it to load.

COVID-19 Nonprofit Impact Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NonprofitImpact

Covered employers qualify for dollar-for-dollar reimbursement through tax credits for all qualifying wages paid under the FFCRA. Qualifying wages are those paid to an employee who takes leave under the Act for a qualifying reason, up to the appropriate per diem and aggregate payment caps. Applicable tax credits also extend to amounts paid or incurred to maintain health insurance coverage. For more information, please see the Department of the Treasury’s website.

Thanks Victoria for sharing the link to the survey - folks please save and complete when you can.

When we get to questions (I dobt want to forget!)... what would the difference be for an employee getting the 2 weeks paid emergency sick leave to care for a child vs qualifying under FMLA?

As an employer, with no HR dept did I udnetstand we are to make any employee who has a child in school or da care we need to alert them that they are entitled to a leave?

If people are remotely working- do you send the poster digitally?

Will they send the model notice digitally?

Wow! Thank you. And thank you so much for hosting this Madeleine! (My daughter is asleep in her carrier on me right now so leaving video off.😊)

This is so helpful. Could Together SC share a template for those notifications for employees?

Is it ok to share the notices that are on the DOL website and sending it to your employees

https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/posters/FFCRA_Poster_WH1422_Non-Federal.pdf

Hypothetical scenario - An employee has a laptop, say is in fundraising or another job that CAN be done remotely. SC schools are closed. Does that mean IF the employee wants, despite being able to work remotely, given the COVID19 situation with social distancing in SC, that they could immediately say they want to take leave on April 1st?

About the SBA loans for non-profits - Will my personal FEMA SBA loan because of the FLOOD, interfere with our organization's eligibility, if I am the person filling out the application??

thank you helen

I'd love an answer to Nancy's question above

I would also like an answer to Nancy’s question too!

Agree.. would like to hear response to Nancy's question

So do we have to make all employees aware of this leave option?

Think they answered Nancy’s question?

I disagree with intermittent FMLA option. According to the DOL Employee Rights the 12 weeks of leave are available over a 12-week period.

Madeline, this is great. I look forward to more. I have to go to the next virtual meeting. Thanks.

Thank you all! This is helpful, let's do more!

Thank you to Perry, Chris, and Together SC!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you for offering an insight on how to manage this fluid situation for employee/employers. Blessings

thank you for the help :)

On Intermittent FMLA - we do not yet know if it applies

Would love a list serve at this point since there are so many things changing

Employee can take intermittent leave in hours (480 for 40 hour week) or fmla for 12 weeks the employee decides - employer approves

YES on unemployment and SBA Loans

Thank you!
