COVID Quarantine Pay

S. Stallone made a motion to approve the quarantine information as presented.
R. Carroll, Jr. seconded the motion.
Ned reviewed the federal guidelines for pay for COVID related issues.  If the staff have to be quarantine they are entitled to full pay for 2 weeks for one time. If the staff have to care for a family member, the staff member is entitled to 2/3 pay for this time.  Meryl discussed that the FMLA is for 12 weeks so if the staff use 2 weeks of COVID time then they have 10 weeks after this for FMLA regarding medical issues that require not to return to work.  Ned discussed the process for staff that test positive and returning to work.  Traveling to outside of Delaware maybe required to quarantine so this is going to be discouraged.  The staff that live in a different State they would be exempt.  Traveling by public transportation is being discouraged.  The staff will be discourage from traveling outside of the U.S.
