Mrs308 works at the local surgery center. With the outbreak of CV, their procedures are limited to emergency, and this adds up to maybe 5 per day, most of which are completed by 8 or 9am.
That being said, nurses and staff are being farmed out, but since everyone is in the same boat, most are just sitting around putting in the hours.
Yesterday, Mrs308 was offered Pandemic Pay. This equates to 70% of gross wages, full benefits and PTO still accrue. The only stipulation is she has to (1) agree to the 70% and (2) not come to work for at least two weeks, and her employment is still guaranteed. She gets paid to stay home.
Needless to say, I encouraged her to take it since there is other staff that need the full time pay/hours, and we are not so much in that situation.
Anyone else hear about this sort of deal?
