“NOTE: We expect the CDC to rescind the 5 day isolation period in the very near future. Once the CDC guidance is updated, employees will no longer be eligible for Covid pay for any period of isolation.”
Employers were ready for the CDC change so they could end sick pay.
@luckytran We must change our economy from late stage capitalism before it becomes end stage and chaos ensues. We are not serfs any longer and we know how to build guillotines.
@luckytran this is a city government in New York state, yet you're acting like it's some corporate overlord. Hmm, almost like you're not concerned with reality, just fear mongering to gain personal attention.
Sad.
@luckytran do they get normal sick leave still? Or was there no sick leave? My employer had access to a pot of money from the state for covid sick leave for a while so we got extra sick leave in the early years and it didn’t cost the school, but that’s ended so we can’t take “covid leave” but if we’re sick with covid we just use our normal sick leave now.
Also 4 hours leave for a shot would not have covered my side effects! I’ve missed from 1-3 days for each.
@luckytran 14 days LIFETIME??? Even if you don't believe in isolating and like to spread like crazy, you're going to miss more than that just by being alive more than a few years.
@luckytran As an EU person, the concept of "you're only allowed to be sick this many times" never ceases to surprise me. It's as if some countries haven't realised that you 1. Can't decide when you get sick and 2. Are far more likely to repeatedly spread disease around the workplace when people aren't allowed to be home when sick. Insane tactic tbh.
@luckytran ...when you go the 'extra mile' to bold-n-underline the word 'lifetime' when talking about a period of time, that's when you know you're dealing with the OGs...
My favourite part of that - she says with dire sarcasm - is the part about how employees are not eligible for sick leave if their kid's home with COVID.
There is no milk of human kindness which these ghouls won't turn into rancid cazu martzu.
@luckytran Eligible for three leaves with a lifetime maximum of 14 days? WTF? This is existential threat territory. What do we have to do, violent revolution?
@luckytran I am embarrassed to say I didn’t see that coming but it now makes a hell of a lot of sense. We are just horrible to human beings right now aren’t we.
