All businesses should be required to tell every employee "You don't have to come in to work for the duration of the crisis, unless you feel like it. But you'll get paid regardless."?
- amluto 7y agoNo. All employers should be required to tell employees “if you believe you have a communicable disease that could infect your coworkers or customers, then you MUST NOT come to work, and we or the government will find a way to take care if you.” This should be the case regardless of any pandemic. Allowing an employee with a mild flu to come to work is irresponsible.
- alexpetralia 7y agoWhat prevents a worker from stating they believe they have coronavirus? Surely you'd agree there is an incentive to do so (stay home and get paid).

- knodi123 7y agoThe comment I replied to was "isolate and self-quarantine". You're talking about self-quarantine, but isolate sounds more like a preventative step.
