Your Unemployment Questions Answered
The employment group at Burch, Porter & Johnson has recently received a number of questions from clients—who are rightly concerned about the well-being of furloughed or laid-off employees during this uncertain time—about unemployment benefits in Tennessee, including questions about recent federal legislative efforts (most particularly the CARES Act) and their effect on benefits for Tennessee applicants.
The DOL recently updated its “Questions and Answers” document (the “DOL Q&A”), which provides guidance on several difficult questions facing employers. The updates make clear that the FFCRA will be enforced soon, so employers need to get on top of it now.
