How Ascentis Can Help
Ascentis supports its clients with three main parts of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA):
1. Paid sick leave: Ascentis provides you the ability to customize pay codes so that your organization can track the different types of leave that is associated with COVID-19.
2. FMLA: Our products currently support the ability to create the expanded FMLA benefits associated with COVID-19 cases.
3. Employer Payroll Tax Credits: We have been in contact with our partners and the IRS with regard to these changes. At this time we are awaiting regulations from the iRS on how to implement the law. Ascentis payroll will then diligently work on developing a solution for our payroll clients that will address the changes related to the employer payroll tax credits associated with these new leave types.
