Ohio Stay at Home order extended to May 1, 2020
Visit https://governor.ohio.gov-stay-at-home-order-extended-through-may-1 for details.Brothers and Sisters:
I want to reassure everyone that my staff and I are working diligently everyday to get the correct and most important information to our members. These are challenging times for everyone, and I want everyone to know how important it is to stay healthy and safe through this pandemic. All information is on the website and we are doing our best to update information daily.
When it comes to unemployment, they are not looking to deny anyone their benefits. You need to do your best in answering the questions and the local will verify that you’re seeking work either through the out of work list or on furlough. They waived the “seeking work” rule but again, we are trying to cover all bases if necessary.
When it comes to ERP, we have all the information on the website to help you through the application process. All ERP claims will get processed.
When it comes to job sites still open; I cannot shut down a job site unless the guidelines from the state are not being followed. In Ohio, construction job sites are determined to be essential by the Governor. It’s very important to note that if they are not following the guidelines, then we can shut it down.
All normal business that usually gets done at the membership meetings is being done by the Executive Board until we get back to normal. We continue to monitor this day by day. The April 6 Membership meeting has been cancelled
We are still trying to digest the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. (FFCRA or ACT) This gives employees working for employers with less than 500 employees, eligibility to receive paid sick time and/or paid sick leave. We will be getting Q/A’s about this act out to the membership. This goes into effect April 1 and continues until December 31, 2020.
We have had multiple job shutdowns with layoffs or furloughs every day. We have handled all layoffs daily with a draw of names to get them back on the respective Book – 1, 2, 3, 4. This drawing is similar to a pea draw to be fair to all involved. It takes a day or two to update in the computer and then you’re able to get your book information. At minimum, you can still bid on all calls by phone.
I, again, want to assure everyone these are challenging times and we want to do our best in getting the correct information to the members. Please be safe.
