Smithson Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Does anybody know labour dept/government policy regarding sick leave for employees who test positive? One staff member who tested positive who has been double vaxxed called to say she doesn't feel well and will take at least another week off, after the initial 14 days. My concern is that any staff who get infected will try to take as much time off as possible. If enough people contracted covid then this could send me broke. At the moment I have three staff still sick, with the rest being tested weekly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wmlc Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Staff should be working from home so the problem is the management in the company. Do you really want someone with Covid coming to work? For this case, have her supply a medical certificate and if the doctor does not agree then she will need to return to working which should be working from home now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many staff are working from home, but it's not possible for everyone, all the time, which is a shame because it would save a lot on rent, electricity etc. I'm asking specifically about labour laws and related government advice on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
