At my work employees that are “vaccinated” get paid or short term disability when they are off for Covid

Employees that get Covid and don’t have the jab have to use their PTO

Obviously a punishment for those that didn’t get the jab

Literally makes zero sense because people that got the jab are still getting fricking Covid and taking off

Wish there were legal ramifications for this

You use your PTO. Doesn’t matter if you’re vaxed or unvaxed.

I was out in late 2020 for 16 days. 4 of those were weekends, 3 I took off for thanksgiving so 9 work days… had it pretty dang bad but tried to work here or there. Never had to take time out of my vacation. Right now, if you have it and you can work, work. If you’re ill take the time off.

I use sick days, or I get docked.

Those jabbed are out 5 days, the unvaxxed, 10 days.

Five days off for those who are vaccinated … PTO for those who aren’t.

The first go-round, we paid them with no use of PTO. We were reimbursed by big gov.

This time, they must use PTO.

We don’t inquire about vax status.

When I had it in August of 20 I had to take 14 days off so my boss paid me for one week and I took a week of vacation for the second week

Employer gave us the option to get the jab , if we didn’t get it , then they left it alone . Have not heard about the jab for over two years , but you can still get it and they will provide it if you want it .

We've been treating it like being sick has always been treated for the last 6 months.

PTO while sick, work from home while recovering, full pay until you get 2 negatibe antigen 36hr apart and 1 negative pcr.

I go back to work after 2 weeks off for covid.

mild head cold, pcr was taken thurs last week.

Time critical government project (international treaty). Government agreed to pay us to stay home if sick/positive/exposed pending testing to ensure people didn't come to work sick and potentially spreading it to others. Also paid us $1000 to get the jab. Weekly testing for those who didn't. Doing everything they can to minimize impacts to schedule. Site medical (also contractor) makes determination as to whether off time is charged back to the government.

Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of missing any work since this all started, despite my wife, son, and half my staff catching it at least once.

Five days off paid for all. My work actually emailed us all excited after the mandate was shot down.

By telling you to come back to work.

Really...that happened.
