Here’s how that works:
Employee: “I feel bad today and I might have covid.”
Employer: “So you’re not coming in. Get well soon”. And there goes another one on a week’s paid vacation. Its impossible to schedule anything in advance because I never know who is going to call in ‘sick’. One more this week and I have to close for awhile.
That’s the reality business have to operate under at least in Wisconsin. Employee gets a vacation paid for by the company because the employee claims to be sick.
More like two weeks.
I’ve seen a worker do that twice this year:
Worker (on phone) in June:
“Boss, I feel like I have a fever”
Boss:
“Ok, two weeks off”
—3 months later-+
Worker (on phone) in Sept:
“Boss, I feel like I have a fever”
Boss:
“Ok, two weeks off”
Both times —with pay—.
This is in addition to the regular PTO.
