GoCo Provides Free HRIS For Essential Care Workers to Support Them Through COVID-19

GoCo is committed to helping small businesses and HR professionals navigate the COVID-19 public health emergency.

To offer as much support as we can to companies scrambling to stay compliant with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), we've created a library of resources dedicated to the FFCRA and COVID-19.

The FFCRA temporarily expands provisions under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, specifically to address absences related to COVID-19. In general, private sector employers with 500 employees or less will be expected to follow the new regulations when they go into effect on April 1st (although small businesses with fewer than 50 employees may qualify for exemption from the requirements). 

How GoCo Can Help

GoCo’s team is helping human resources managers understand and implement provisions of the Act, while continuing to support existing customers. As a cloud app, GoCo is designed to be used anytime, anywhere, and is keeping business continuity among the thousands of teams relying on GoCo during this time to support remote work.

Our mission at GoCo has always been to help free businesses of administrative burden in HR, so they can focus on achieving their own missions. It’s especially important for us to deliver on that mission right now, as HR teams are under a ton of pressure related to COVID-19, between all the workforce changes and legal requirements coming out.

In addition, GoCo is committed to volunteering their time to providing and setting up HRIS at no charge to essential care services including primary, emergency, and urgent care providers during this time.

At a time when these organizations are shouldering the heavy burden of managing their teams while staying up to date with rapidly changing business conditions, we are hoping to assist in taking the administrative burden off of HR professionals.
