The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been felt worldwide . In response, the U.S. Department of Labor implemented the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) which provided paid leave to both part-time and full-time employees through December 31, 2020. In an effort to continue to support our employees, Sussex County Public Schools has observed this provision past the termination date. Beginning August 8, 2022, Sussex County Public Schools will require all employees to use sick, emergency, or vacation days for all Covid-19 related absences. Paid leave will be supported by employee sick, emergency, or vacation days.
