Vaccination Leave Requirements Extended
Since March 2020, employers of all sizes have been required to provide unpaid leave under DCFMLA to employees for reasons related to COVID-19. Separately, since November 18, 2021, employers of all sizes have been required to provide two hours of paid leave for employees receiving (or their child receiving) a COVID-19 vaccination and an additional eight hours of paid leave in the following 24-hour period for vaccination recovery. Both requirements were set to expire on February 16, 2022, and were previously reported in Compliance Corner. On February 3, 2022, Mayor Bowser signed Act 24-319, which extends both provisions until May 4, 2022.
