Ours of course is still evolving as well.

We have two different HR systems, a hospital and clinics one and a main campus one.

If it is determined to be work related, right now in our state there is no evidence of community spread, but we have some in isolation who are tested positive. If an employee that has contact with any positive patients and they test positive, right now it will be a WC case and that indemnity will kick in. 

Otherwise, if they are an employee that cannot work from home in any way for the organization, then the policy is that they will be using their PTO time for quarantine. 

If they don’t have PTO left, they just spent it all in China, they are still talking that if they can “borrow” some from the future or some policy like that.

? Our HR leadership has asked us to reach out to other health care colleagues for some guidance around employees that are or maybe quarantined because of COVID19.
If an employee is determined to be quarantined for 14 days because of inadvertent exposure and are clinically well, are they being paid and if so how.
The organization through CDC and local public health guidance is saying you must stay home and self monitor.
Are you paying them?
Are benefits continuing?
Do you bypass whatever you have in place related to necessary documentation after a days off threshold?
Is it a special payroll coding?
Is it PTO?
Is it different for your unionized workforce?
Thank you.

Thank you for this question. Equally interested in the responses. How many are planning to quarantine because of COVID19?
We are currently NOT quarantining, although this could change at any moment.
