Question: Can I require my employee to quarantine after their vacation?
Felicity is a server at The Burger Barn. This past Christmas her boyfriend surprised her with a vacation, which he booked for Labor Day 2020. Felicity immediately put in for vacation so she would be sure to have the time off. Not knowing when he booked the trip that a global pandemic would happen and the US would still be trying to get transmission under control for months on end, Felicity’s boyfriend pre-paid for everything and now he can’t get any refunds. Felicity and her boyfriend decide to still make the trip. After all, they’ve been looking forward to this trip for months, have cabin-fever from being cooped up in their house, states have been reopening, and they don’t want to throw away her boyfriend’s hard-earned money. Besides, they’ll practice excellent hygiene, wear masks, and socially distance as much as possible.
Felicity’s manager, Brooke, is concerned about her still going on vacation during the pandemic. As a server Felicity can’t very well work remotely. Brooke knows many states have issued public health orders requiring individuals coming into the state from certain areas experiencing high community transmission of the virus to self-quarantine when they arrive, but Brooke’s state isn’t one of them. She wants to make Felicity stay away from the restaurant after her vacation but is not sure she can do that. Brooke calls an HR expert for advice.
