Sick Leave

Any employee who cannot work for reasons related to Coronavirus may be entitled to two weeks of paid sick leave in addition to any paid leave you may have available under existing company policy.  You are eligible to take this leave for any of the following reasons:

  1. You are subject to a government quarantine/isolation order related to Coronavirus;
  2. You have been advised by a health care provider to quarantine for Coronavirus concerns;
  3. You are experiencing symptoms of Coronavirus and seeking a medical diagnosis;
  4. You are caring for an individual who is subject to an order as described above or has been advised by a health care provider as described above;
  5. You are caring for a son or daughter if the child’s school or place of care has been closed or the child’s childcare provider is unavailable due to Coronavirus precautions; or
  6. You are experiencing any other substantially similar condition specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor.

If you need leave because you are personally sick or quarantined, you will receive up to two weeks’ pay at your regular rate of compensation up to a maximum of $511 per day.  If you take leave to care for someone else, you will receive 2/3 pay up to a maximum of $200 per day.

If your need for leave lasts longer than two weeks, you may utilize other leave and paid time off under company policy to which you are eligible.

School Closing Leave

If you have been an employee for at least 30 days, you may take 12 weeks of leave if you are unable to work, including work from home, because you need to care for your child (under 18 years old) whose  school or place of care is closed, or whose child care provider is unavailable, due to this public health emergency.

The first 10 days of this leave is without pay.  However, you may use any other available paid time off under company policy, including the sick leave provided above, during the first the first 10 days.

After the first 10 days, you will be paid at 2/3 your regular rate of pay up to a maximum of $200 per day.
