SBA will allow firms who place employees on mandatory telework to maintain compliance with the principal office requirement, for certification and recertification purposes.
- Firms will be required to provide a signed statement that: 1) they put their employees on telework in response to social distancing restrictions related to the COIVD-19 pandemic; 2) the teleworking measure is temporary in nature and the employees will return to their normal work location once the teleworking measures have been lifted and 3.) the firm will make its best effort to provide meaningful work to employees on telework.
