House Co-

Sponsorship

Memorandum

Representative Jake Wheatley, Jr. (D) has announced his intent to sponsor legislation to increase

compensation during the corona virus pandemic.

In his memo, he said: "Times like this call for bold action, which is why I will be introducing HB

2380, the Emergency Relief for COVID-19 Workers Act. This is an unprecedented piece of

legislation aimed at giving widespread relief to those affected by the global pandemic COVID-19.

As representatives of the people, it is important we respond to their needs during this time of

crisis. I’m offering an extensive list of combined relief efforts particularly directed toward front line,

life-sustaining workers, but ultimately all Pennsylvania workers.

First and foremost, the bill provides additional wages to essential workers. If an essential worker is

making less than $15 an hour, they will be eligible to earn the difference for hours they worked

during the health emergency. For example, if a worker makes $10 an hour, they will be eligible for

an additional $5 an hour during that time. For workers who makes more than $15 an hour, they

will be eligible for and additional $3 per hour during the health emergency. This supplemental

wage will be available from the time of March 1, 2020 and ends one month after the emergency is

declared over.

Second, my legislation will prohibit employers from requiring employees to use their Paid Time Off

directly preceding being laid off because of the health emergency. This is a senseless and

malicious practice that I would like to see abolished completely, but the bill will only suspend it

temporarily during COVID-19. This prohibition will be in place from April 1, 2020 and end one

month after the emergency is declared over.

Third, House Bill 2380 will suspend all mortgage and rent payments for those who have lost their

job due to the pandemic. This would take effect for the time beginning April 1, 2020 and ending

one month after the emergency is declared over. Landlords will be able to apply for

reimbursement from the State for lost rent during this period. Any business with less than 50

employees who has not received federal stimulus money will also be eligible for this benefit.

Finally, my legislation would allow any essential employee who works more than 150 hours during

the emergency to apply to have their student loans forgiven in full. The employee must provide

proof they were an essential employee and must also provide proof of hours worked.

This legislation will be paid for by a bond not to exceed $10 billion."
