It isn't always that easy. You don't know my situation.
I will be expected to come into work without a definitive answer. You'd be surprised how many places still don't have any structure in place to protect their workers during all of this.

, that too.
If he thinks he could be positive, he should self quarantine. He's worried about being told he has to go to work even with a fever. Did you even ing read it?
So it's better to risk killing people than to piss off your boss but if you could get a note from the doc, you could get a 14 day hiatus. Got it. You won't get a test just to satisfy your place of employment.
Yeah I read it. Amazing that you read it as him wanting to play hooky from work.
Assuming they would let me take the hiatus without pressuring me.
I don't give a damn about my bosses, but I also have a family to worry about. Sure, I could leave and risk it all (which I'm very close to), but it isn't that simple. Bills will still come in. Good luck with unemployment and/or the booming job market right now too. Again, you don't know my situation, but thanks for making assumptions and framing it negatively.
No I read it as him wanting a legit reason to give his boss for not going to work. If he has a fever he should not be around others, period, thus the "why do you need a test" if he already knows he has a fever? The COVID diagnosis is a different subject. If you have a fever, and you need a COVID result before you can avoid going to work, something is wrong in your life. Maybe he needs a COVID test and maybe not. It has nothing to do with whether or not he should stay home if sick.
Families First Coronavirus Response Act: Employee Paid Leave RightsAssuming they would let me take the hiatus without pressuring me.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or Act) requires certain employers to provide employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. The Department of Labor’s (Department) Wage and Hour Division (WHD) administers and enforces the new law’s paid leave requirements. These provisions will apply from the effective date through December 31, 2020.
Generally, the Act provides that employees of covered employers are eligible for:
Two weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave at the employee’s regular rate of pay where the employee is unable to work because the employee is quarantined (pursuant to Federal, State, or local government order or advice of a health care provider), and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis; or
I stopped at "or" because that's all you need. "experiencing COVID-19 symptoms AND seeking a medical diagnosis"
You don't have to have a positive result, but you do have to be seeking treatment.
Does your place of employment qualify?
Yes they are ing re ed.
Not if he works for a company with less than 50 employees or more than 500.
Beat me to it. We don't qualify.
Have you ever heard of bootstraps then?
That's not fair. If cdc can randomly assign covid deaths without testing, and specifically state that if you are showing symptoms then act like you have it, employers should have to give you that 2 weeks. Sorry your employer is a dunce.
they won't go up any higher, brah.
The third reason for EPSLA leave applies where an employee is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and is seeking a medical diagnosis. The DOL clarifies that paid sick leave taken for this reason should be limited to the time that an employee is unable to work because they are taking affirmative steps to obtain a medical diagnosis – i.e., making, waiting for or attending an appointment for a test. If an employee seeking a diagnosis is able to telework while waiting for test results, the employee may not take paid sick leave if: (i) the employer has work for the employee to perform; (ii) the employer permits the employee to perform work from the location where the employee is waiting; and (iii) there are no extenuating cir stances, such as serious COVID-19 symptoms, that would prevent the employee from performing that work. Continued leave is available under the second reason for EPSLA if an employee is advised by a healthcare provider to self-quarantine as a result of the medical diagnosis (and, as a result, the employee is unable to work or telework)
Yeah man it could get really bad. Or like .0000999 bad like science says.
Note Point No. 2 above: small businesses are exempted only from providing leave requests due to school closures and child care unavailability. Small businesses are not exempt from providing leave for any of the other types of permissible requests under the FFCRA. Thus, for example, if an employee has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine related to COVID-19, or if an employee requests leave to care for an individual who is self-quarantining, the small business must still provide the appropriate paid leave, as no exemption is available for such requests.
Please, that's the kind of that RG & peeg have pulled on me. I thought better of you, bum.
Probably kinda awkward eating that ass in a bunker, huh dale?
2 weeks and hopefully covid kicks in and takes all the looters & rioters out of this world!
Like Trump and Mnuchin who looted the treasury.
