Description

The Multi-state Employment Law Handbook provides an extensive overview of employee rights, protections, and benefits under U.S. federal employment laws, particularly relevant to Chicago amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The handbook highlights key aspects such as wages, hours, medical leave, discrimination, workplace safety, and the rights of employees upon termination. Key features include information on the Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, and protections against employment discrimination, including those specifically relating to COVID-19. Filling instructions suggest consulting this handbook as a preliminary resource before discussing specific situations with a qualified attorney. It serves as a crucial starting point for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants to navigate employment law challenges heightened by the pandemic. Relevant use cases include understanding COVID-related leave entitlements, addressing workplace safety concerns, and guiding clients through potential legal actions related to employer non-compliance with health mandates. The document further equips legal professionals with necessary contacts and resources for appropriately advocating for employee rights.

FAQ

Updated Guidance: The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends that people stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

You should isolate for at least 5 days counting from the day you began feeling sick (Day 0 is the day you began feeling sick; Day 1 is the next day). If you have no symptoms, then isolate for 5 full days after the day you tested positive (Day 0 is the day you took your positive test; Day 1 is the day after).

Many people will no longer be infectious to others after 5 days, but you can be infectious for up to 10 days.

Follow CDC guidance for isolation, and notify your manager. After isolating for five full days, below are the opportunities to test in order to return to work via a PCR or antigen test. If the test result is negative, you can return to work on day 6, pending resolving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours.

Once a COVID-19 case is identified at the workplace, the employer must: If the individual is symptomatic, immediately exclude the case from the workplace until they meet all return to work criteria (see Exclusion Requirements and Return to Work below). If the case is asymptomatic, exclusion is not required.

Asymptomatic COVID-19 positive staff may return to work after at least 10 days have passed since the date of their positive test. Agencies should notify their local health department if they become aware of a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19 for additional guidance and support.

Instruct any workers who are infected, unvaccinated workers who have had close contact with someone who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and all workers with COVID-19 symptoms to stay home from work to prevent or reduce the risk of transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19.

A: Employees can return to work without a negative test if they are no longer in their infectious period and wear a face covering until 10 days have passed since symptoms began or the date of their first positive test.

Please continue to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Remember to stay home if you have cold or flu symptoms, wear a mask as needed, and stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations. There are currently no rules in WA that require you to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19.

In ance with guidance from the CDC, if you test positive for COVID-19 you should: Isolate for 5 days regardless of vaccination status. Only leave isolation after 5 days if you have no symptoms or your symptoms are improving, including at least 24 hours without a fever.
