TweetWhat 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?
