Re: Advice please: When ur employee wont work during COVID-19
She is 34. Healthy. She has 2 daughters, 3 and 8. Her parents moved her out of her apartment and into their basement this week. Her parents are also totally freaked out about corona and think its going to wipe out half the population. This whole corona crisis is creating a whole new set of problems for employers. What do you do when you have employees who refuse to work? -
Re: Advice please: When ur employee wont work during COVID-19
Yes, Dzone, that is a hard place for you to be in. She is doing what she feels she needs to do for herself, and you need to do the same. Is it possible to hire this new girl part time? Then maybe bring back the other girl part time also, at a later date? I'm just trying to help you with ideas... It sounds like you have given her options, but she is pretty strong on her stance right now?
A time like this calls for hard decisions that don't feel good . In an effort to stay present, you need to do what you have too so your business can run as efficiently as possible.
As the country changes, business needs will change.Leave a comment:

An employee has to follow the rules of the workplace. They do not make their own rules. She is being selfish.Leave a comment:

Re: Advice please: When ur employee wont work during COVID-19
Im not even sure if this question is appropriate for me to be asking on here anymore , but I cant take this question to a public forum like FB because my employees will see it or hear about it.
Yes, I am probably wayyyy too laid back as a boss. Too easy going. I am NOT a hardass in any way shape or form. Working for me is damn fun 99% of the time. I want to be fair with this employee, but she wont even come in to do paperwork when nobody else is around. Im sure there are people who would call me a dick for considering replacing any employee during covid 19 but I got a business to run and right now things are hanging on the razors edge of danger. All of this would be just fine if she could come in just one day a week, but she said she wont do that. So what to do. Ya, this is the shit that keeps you awake at night. It sucks.
I talked to several people today who work for corporations. I asked them if they have the option of taking time off during covid 19. They all said if they dont go to work during covid 19, they will lose their job. They dont have a choice.Leave a comment:

Advice please: When ur employee wont work during COVID-19
What would you do? An employee told me yesterday that she will NOT be coming to work, indefinitely, until the covid 19 crisis is over. Probably 3-4 weeks. Its put me in a real bind, as I am having to do the work now of 3 people. I told her we are taking every precaution against covid 19 and she could even come to work when nobody else is around to do paperwork. She choose not to. She is NOT going to leave home until covid- 19 is over. I cant force her to come to work.
Now I am trying to figure out how she can do remote work from home for a month, which is still way inferior to being here.
Today, I came across someone with experience at this kind of work who is looking for a job. I honestly think this new girl would be a better employee than the girl who is taking herself out of work because she is afraid of corona.(She shows up late to work every day)
But is it uncool of me to consider replacing this employee because she and her family dont think she should be working during covid 19?
