Syracuse, N.Y. -- The conversation across New York State has shifted over the past week away from social distancing and to the potential re-opening of the economy. While that shift will be a relief to many it has the potential to put parents in a bind, especially since Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that schools will be closed through the end of the academic year.

Primary caregivers who are watching children and whose school or child-care facilities are closed are eligible to receive benefits in a variety of ways if they have no other suitable childcare options.
Kristin Small, a lawyer with Empire Justice Center, said the group is fielding calls each day from parents trying to navigate the rules of unemployment and make the best decisions for their families, with one of the common subjects involving unemployment rules and childcare.
The organization is a non-profit that traditionally provides advocacy and legal representation for low-income New Yorkers but has deployed itself during the pandemic to help individuals answer unemployment questions at 1-800-724-0490 (ext. 5827).
While many lawyers have been active in trying to interpret the new rules and regulations for the public, they frequently have noted that many scenarios are new and cautioned that there are many uncertainties to how scenarios will be viewed and rules will be applied.
Here are some things that Small and other experts suggested primary caregivers keep in mind if they are asked to return to work.
1. In Onondaga County, childcare is still free for all workers deemed essential
Parents deemed essential workers by the state (the list is much broader than you would think and is worth looking at if you are working) have the option of utilizing free childcare subsidized by Onondaga County and organized by Child Care Solutions.
The free offer is expected to run through at least May 15, when New York State has announced that it could begin to un-pause and lift restrictions on non-essential work. Workers can call (3150 446-1220.
The offer, put together by Onondaga County, should provide an economical way for any worker deemed essential to perform their job.
Lori Schakow of Child Care Solutions said that the push to encourage everyone to stay in their homes has created an exaggerated fear of childcare facilities. She stressed that licensed childcare facilities have health protocols in place and that the health of the children and the workers are intertwined.
'I understand we've said schools are closed and everyone should stay at home and no group mingling and things like that,' Schakow said. 'But the reality is the childcare industry, even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, had very robust health and safety plans in place, good infection control policies and procedures, exclusion of sick children policies. .. They're doing everything they can to keep children safe because that keeps them safe. It's a much better option than an elderly relative who you're putting at-risk or using an unlicensed program or a high school teacher who is convenient but not as safe.'
2. Paid medical leave is available to some
Certain employers are obligated to provide primary caregivers with benefits under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
The employers required to provide those benefits include public and private employers with less than 500 employees with some exceptions. Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees can obtain exceptions if the worker's absence would jeopardize the viability of the business.
Qualified employers would have to provide all employees with two weeks of paid sick time under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave. Employees are required to inform their HR managers that they plan to utilize that time.
Employees on leave are entitled to two-thirds of their normal pay. They would also maintain their benefits and have job protection while on leave.
Where Can I Watch If I Stay
Employees who have worked more than 30 days would be entitled to another 10 weeks of Expanded Family and Medical Leave.
Unfortunately for workers, Small noted, many companies are not obligated to provide those benefits.
'Really, the FFCRA doesn't even apply to the majority of workers in the United States,' Small said. 'The majority of the workforce works for companies larger than 500 or smaller than 50. It's still available to a lot of people, but we've been talking to a lot of people who aren't covered.'
3. You can negotiate
Where Can I Watch If I Stay
One thing that many employment lawyers have noted over the past week is that in many cases both employers and employees are often willing to try and help each other as best they can.
Small said that in cases where a paid medical leave is not available, the two sides might be able to work out an agreement that is partially beneficial for both of them.
An employer might listen to the concerns of an employee and allow a parent to go on unpaid furlough in order to take care of their children until a better option emerges.
'For (those who aren't covered by the FFCRA), there's not a lot of relief that I can see in terms if paid relief under the law,' Small said. 'We've been advising people if they don't have anyone suitable to take care of their children, they could try to work something out with their employers. They could work out paid-leave to the extent possible under the employer's policy. If they're not able to do that maybe arrange a furlough or unpaid leave that would make them eligible for the (Pandemic Unemployment Assistance) program.'
A furlough would allow the employee to maintain their benefits and generate an income through Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, while the employer could save money by not providing a paycheck and retain an employee who is already trained and very appreciative.
4. Pandemic Unemployment Assistance
Primary caregivers that can't work out an agreement with their employer and have to stay home to take care of their children can take advantage of the Pandemic Unemployment Act if the child's school or childcare facility is closed.
The calculation for the PUA is different than the medical leave. It is based on a worker's previous earnings and will provide somewhere between $186 and $504 per week. PUA benefits can only be collected until Dec. 25. The federal government is adding an additional $600 payment through July 31. Individuals collecting benefits through the PUA would not receive healthcare benefits or job protection.
'If someone applies for and is collecting PUA, chances are, they have severed the employment relationship,' said Lindsay Hazelton, an attorney with Hancock Eastbrook. 'So, no benefits continuation and no job protection. When applying for unemployment benefits an applicant generally must certify that their former employer no longer has work available for them or they are now are unable to work due to COVID19, as authorized by the PUA.'
While small business owners have expressed concern that workers will opt to remain unemployed rather than return to work, traditional workers are not supposed to be able to choose to stay on PUA long-term.
In general, workers who are offered their old job at the same wage but refuse to work will not continue to receive unemployment benefits unless they meet stated criteria (such as a primary caregiver with no suitable childcare options).
Anyone utilizing the PUA would also have no promises that they can return to their job and would have to wait to wait receive benefits from a new employer, something Hazelton indicated should be a serious consideration.
'If an employee quits or stops working due to COVID-19 related reasons, the employer will likely have to fill that position with someone else,' Hazelton said. 'Employees should not assume an employer will then displace that new hire if and when the employee decides they want to return to work. That is the risk I fear some employees are not considering. The benefits and extra $600 per week sound appealing, but the $600 per week expires at the end of July, the benefits generally expire after 39 weeks, and again, that employment relationship is severed, meaning employees will likely have to find health insurance elsewhere.'
5. What if I feel unsafe using group childcare?
With so many new laws and regulations, even legal experts have uncertainties about how to interpret them. They are simply doing the best that they can to interpret the guidance.
When it comes to childcare, one of the key phrases used by multiple lawyers was 'suitable childcare options.'
What might feel suitable to one family might not be suitable to another. Some families, like those with at-risk family members in the house, might be more reluctant to look outside the home for childcare options.
Hazelton said it's still a little bit unclear who gets to decide what constitutes a 'suitable' option and whether that is completely the parent's discretion.
She noted there could even be some small differences in interpretation depending on if a worker was seeking paid leave or PUA benefis.
'Best I can tell, that still is a bit unclear,' Hazelton said. 'I did see that the PUA benefits would be available ‘to an individual whose job allows for telework, but where the provision of care to a child or household member requires such hngoing and constant attention that it is not possible for the individual to perform work at home.' This would seem to suggest they are giving parents a fair amount of discretion in terms of what is suitable for that benefit. But again that quote was in connection with PUA benefits, not the Emergency FMLA. A person may not be comfortable sending their child to a daycare center in these circumstances, but have they explored all other childcare possibilities? Like using a home-based day care provider? That seems reasonable, but I also have not seen a directive that they are required to do that. As of right now, it's still a bit unclear as to who has the final say in what's 'suitable.'

Plot[edit]
Mia Hall and her family are getting ready to go on with their normal day activities when it is announced on the radio that school has been canceled. Mia's father, Denny, is a teacher and as a result of the snow day does not have to go to work. Mia's mother, Kat, a travel agent, decides to call in sick and along with her family and Mia's brother Teddy so they can get on the road to visit Mia's grandparents, who live on a farm.
The story flashes back to Mia's early life with a rockstar father and an inexperienced mother, when one day they take Mia to a music class where Mia decides that she wants to start playing the cello. After her parents see that Mia is passionate about the cello, they hire a teacher to help her play. Kat is shown pregnant with Teddy, whom Mia thinks is the reason for her father's departure from his band.
Years later, an adolescent Mia is still passionate about the cello and is playing at school in the band room where Adam Wilde, a popular student and up-and-coming rockstar, peeks in on her playing. This leads him to ask Kim, Mia's best friend, about her. Adam then asks Mia out on a date to a cello recital, where they kiss.
The story flashes back to the present day, where the family is driving to the grandparents' farm, before their car suddenly collides with an oncoming truck. Mia appears to have an out-of-body experience where she finds herself barefoot and sees her body lying on the road while paramedics are trying to help her and her family. Mia tries to ask a paramedic what is happening, but realizes that no one can see or hear her. Mia, now in the hospital, panics as she does not know the current status of any of her family members when they take her in for surgery. A sympathetic nurse, Nurse Ramirez, tells Mia—her physical body, not Mia's spirit, which apparently she cannot see either—that it is up to her whether or not she wants to stay.
The story flashes back once again to Mia attending one of Adam's concerts with his band Willamette Stone, where she does not seem to fit in. Mortal kombat x pc download free full version compressed. Adam's band is steadily gaining more recognition and gets signed to a label, which puts a strain on their relationship due to the travel schedule. While at dinner, Mia's grandpa suggests that she should apply to Juilliard, an idea which she initially rebuffs, but later further researches. She eventually lands an audition in San Francisco. It takes a while for Mia to tell Adam about her audition and when she does he becomes upset and leaves for a week-long gig.
In the present day, Mia undergoes surgery. She sees a doctor speaking with her grandparents who are standing outside of a pediatric room where Teddy lies in a coma-like state. Adam comes to the hospital to see Mia, but is not allowed in as he is not an immediate family member. It is then revealed that Kat was pronounced dead on arrival and Denny died on the operating table. She later finds out that Teddy has died from an epidural hematoma. Mia's grandfather George talks to Mia, revealing that when her father heard her playing cello one time, he decided to sacrifice his career knowing that she was talented, so quit his band, sold his drums, and bought her first cello. He also tearfully gives Mia permission to move on from this life if she wants, which influences Mia to decide that she wants to die so that she can join her family on the other side.
The story flashes back to Mia at her audition for Juilliard, where she plays the best she has ever played, leading her to think that if accepted, she would go. After a reconciliation with Adam, they talk about the huge possibility of her going to Juilliard, which ultimately leads to them breaking up and going their separate ways.
After some time, Mia seems stable enough to receive more visitors. Mia is shown symbolically about to let go when she hears the music performed at the cello recital that she attended with Adam. It is revealed that Adam has come to see Mia and that he is playing his iPod for her. He brings with him a letter Mia has received from Juilliard saying that she has been accepted and lets her know that he would do whatever she wants if she stays. He begins to play the song he has finally written about her. Mia, after flashing back through all the happy moments in her life, squeezes Adam's hand and opens her eyes. She sees Adam looking at her saying, 'Mia!'

The site's critical consensus reads, 'Although Chloë Grace Moretz gives it her all and the story adds an intriguing supernatural twist to its melodramatic young adult fiction framework, If I Stay is ultimately more manipulative than moving'.[16] On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 46 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[17]
In his review for The New York Times, A.O. Scott praised Moretz's acting.[18] He added that the 'music is both the best and the corniest part of If I Stay, which makes excellent use of the classical cello repertoire.'[18] Writing for Variety, Justin Chang criticized Moretz's acting, explaining that 'she comes off as a bit too self-assured to play the nerdy misfit.'[19] Anthony Lane of The New Yorker wrote a critical review of the movie, saying, 'The saddest thing about 'If I Stay' is that it affords Moretz so little opportunity to be non-sad.' In the Los Angeles Times, Olivier Gettell summed up that critics saw the film was 'clunky and uninspired.'[20]
