The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced that the paid leave provisions of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) are effective on April 1, 2020. President Trump signed the order on March 18, 2020, and it stated that leave provisions would take effect not later than 15 days after the enactment, leading many to assume the DOL would implement the law on April 2, 2020. We now know it will be a day sooner.
