Subject: Re: [MCOH-EH] COVID19/ furlough for US travel?

Good morning,

With the increase in incidence in the US, are any of the hospital-based programs furloughing staff who have traveled to areas of high incidence within the US?

Are any of you discontinuing travel screening and/or going directly to some other means of monitoring all staff?

I’m happy to tally responses if you email me directly.

Thanks

Karen

Importance: Low

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. We have a Precautionary Excused Pay (PEP) Policy which is typically used when someone feels well but we put them out of work (conjunctivitis, shingles..) the policy pays for up to 5 days. We are extending the 5 days to 14 days  for COVID-19

The organization through CDC and local public health guidance is saying you must stay home and self monitor.

Are you paying them? Yes

Are benefits continuing?Yes

Do you bypass whatever you have in place related to necessary documentation after a days off threshold?YEs

Is it a special payroll coding? Yes

Is it PTO? No PEP

Is it different for your unionized workforce? We do not have a union

Thank you.
