How does new emergency FMLA come into play if you need to downsize your staff due to reduction in office income?

Employees can apply for FMLA assistance if they care for children. No need to fire staff. Put them on furlough.

Hi NIck!

exempted from what > being able to apply for FMLA?

Hi Elaine!

Sick leave / Unemployment : Full time employee who has their hours cut in half?

could he write up the numbers...speaking too quickly..

maybe a summary document? Would love that! and Links too

text is a great idea - thanks!

Although most dentists are closed to routine care and open only for emergency services, dentists were technically exempted from the State Order, as they were determined to be part of essential jobs listed. Would we still fall under the first category??

Also, isn't there an exemption for employers <50 employees? Please clarify.

can we send this to member doctors?

Can you explain how the max aggregate would work? Is it per employee or per business?

Can we have a team member in the front only to handle scheduling for Emergencies even in Shelter in place alert?

Ali ann is ready to jump in and ask questions

If I opt to pay staff full wages for the first 2 weeks, would I just transition to FMLA after those two weeks. Can they use PTO and receive FMLA at the same time?

For seeing emergencies (only emergencies)...are we at higher risk (liability) if using level 3 masks (not n95)?

differenced between unemployment vs FMLA

Previous guidance was essential tx. Now emergency tx only? Please clarify.

Regarding Orthodontists - are they considered elective - what if in current tx... if cancelled appts, the progression of the tx will be compromised.

What rules apply to small offices with less than 5 employees?

are N95s mandatory? Even if not available?

if employees are on unemployment do we have to pay taxes for this?

Are there any caps for paid Sick leave?

Please make sure to ask your questions in the Q&A feature, not in this chat feature. If we are unable to get to your question and its entered into Q&A we will have a record to use for an FAQ

pls clarify: if we have team members in office for limited hrs to be available for any emergencies, is that allowed? or do we only go into office if emergency is scheduled?

as owner dentist, why is this crisis not considered a viz majeure for claiming against loss of income?insurance?

i thought the Hr6201 legislation indicates employers give 2 wks of sick pay- but you said that employees dont have to use sick pay. Please clarify.

What if employees went on unemployment before these new laws were passed?

if we’re essential then couldn’t my staff still come in and check on emails, admin stuff??

Our PTO is on an accrual basis. Since this is the beginning of the year, my employees haven’t accrued much. Am I REQUIRED to advance their PTO time or can I do so on a case by case basis.

If staff members are working just 24 hours a week, could they applied for unemployeement for the 16 hours they are not working in the week?

Please clarify : Unemployment rate for employer tax will go up ?

Please make sure to ask your Questions in the Q&A feature. Its located in your meeting menu, usually at the bottom of your screen.

Can we ask questions in regards to OSHA and operations. Masks, CDC guidelines, patient screening before entering when we are seeing emergencies. Thanks

This is the chat feature, please enter questions in the Q&A feature to help us track and to allow us to answer off line if we are unable to get to them today.

Yes, this meeting is being recorded and the link will be made available via the CDA website later this afternoon

The text number stated is incomplete!

The text number works although it looks incomplete

FOR DOCTORS - - - if docs close offices for emergencies only, can they file for unemployment for themselves

TEXT NUMBER IS CORRECT.

The text number worked for me. And I've already received an email

it is not a phone number, it is a special text number

Are there tax implications for us if employees file for unemployment?

what is the CDA and ADA doing about minimizing membership fees and insurance fees going forwards in their financial part of ameliorating this crisis?

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency? https://success.ada.org/~/media/CPS/Files/Open%20Files/ADA_COVID19_Dental_Emergency_DDS.pdf

Reminder - Dentists are critical and essential components of the Healthcare system. By seeing emergency and urgent care patients they keep vital space open in emergency rooms and urgent care facilities.

we we do essential services? Implants Extractions, if that patient has broken teeth and infectios

infections?

Thank you for the Webinar. Be well.XO

Hi Carol, did you ever get an answer that if we are essential, is staff allowed to come in to answer phones, or check emails or do admin things
