'Have fun and see you later' | Employer quarantines worker
without pay after he parties at Lake of the Ozarks
https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/employer-quarantines-worker-lake-ozarks-party/63-b40bb453-856c-419e-8253-bcce40d799c1
This article is about a man who is being forced to self-quarantine
by his employer for two weeks without pay. He claims he told the employer about
the planned trip and took precautions to cover his face while attending the
trip. This scenario will be interesting how it plays out because the employee
may be entitled to pay for those two weeks if his doctor agrees he should
quarantine. The Family First Coronavirus Response Act allows for people to get
compensation should they need to quarantine to protect their family.
The problem presented in this story is the employee who is
not receiving pay during his forced quarantine.
The issue is with the employer not feeling that the employee
is taking other co-workers safety in mind during personal time.

evenings to help with the issue.
The problem presented in this story is trash left on the
beach that hurts wildlife.
