EPSLA is supplemental Covid Leave.  Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA), requires that certain employers provide up to 80 hours of paid sick leave to employees who need to take leave from work for certain specified reasons related to COVID-19.  Your Box 14 should be Sick Leave Wages Subject to $200 (if for caring for others) or $510 (if for self-care)
