Good morning MCOH/E:
  I was curious to know what type of leaves you assign employees who have a
work related infectious disease exposure and are instructed to stay home by
employee health .

  Obviously , if through WC , it will only be compensable if they develop
the infection and a true causative link is established.

  In some cases , employees will be kept off work pending results of their
testing but if they test negative , they have to use sick time since their
claim will most likely be denied .

  Are there any other types of leaves they can ge eligible for without
having to drain their sick hours ?

Thanks ,
