Before yesterday, I thought we were doing ok considering we’re a scaffolding firm however after yesterdays debacle i’m fuming
To cut a long story short: Someone at work recieves a phonecall from there wife in the morning to say shes been sent home with a fever and cough, he phones the office and is told to go home to self isolate for 7 days.
When he gets home he looks at the ACAS website and sees that their guidace says if you’re sent home with no symptoms you “should” be fully paid (no idea on the full legalities of this one) so he phones the office and gets no response as the Director in charge of tht part is off for the day
It gets kicked down the line to a Supervisor who doesn’t care about his job anymore and isn’t taking the whole thing seriously, with the result being he can comeback into work today (as the pay thing is up in the air). Then the Govt advice changes and hes still being allowed back, so this morning I’ve got to sit in a van with someone whose possibly infected
My Mum falls into the 12 week category as she has respiratory problems (amongst other things) and my Dad has just been sent home from hospital as they need the beds and he has terminal cancer (he’s coming home for Palliative care)
I know I’ll probably get it but, to forced into a scenario where I probably will get it esp with my parents situation has got me raging
What say you STW
Edit for reasons I can’t say on here, the guy and his wife are a pair of weirdos who I wouldn’t trust in anyway when it comes to the truth, he would also still come into work if he had Ebola
