Lawyers of the OT: liabilities not giving people the option to work from home?

I'm not a lawyer and I can tell you that there's zero liability. Are you gonna sue your employer every time you catch a cold at the office? This sounds like a certain segment of the population who always wants to sue their employer for making them go in to work when a few sleet pellets fall from the sky if they get in a wreck on their way.

Quit being a pussy. Go to work and suck it up, or stay home and tell the boss to frick off.

Operators can’t work from home. That’s 80% of the OT population.

I think you have the virus and it is affecting your thinking

If someone has some sort of respiratory illness, notifies their employer of that condition, can easily work from home given that person’s job, asks to work at home and the employer refuses this accommodation, and later contracts the virus from someone at work, and then dies, I would have to believe that employer has some serious liability issues.

You sure do bring a lot of work issues here, do you ever solve anything on your own?

The womenz are really working the breakroom talk at your office huh. We need to go home or I'll sue

I'm no lawyer but unless the company is still making employees come to work AFTER someone in the office already tested positive then more people got sick, I can't see how the employer would be liable for anything. For most businesses, employees not showing up in person to work means the business is shut down completely.

At most they may have some WC claims.

I worked with a guy that would brag that he didn't miss any work for 15 years..The POS would show up sick..so sick I said he looked like Rocky Dennis..He would get everyone else sick...Stay home if you are sick...
