[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at an independent school in the area and I know that they will look at sick leave differently in light of COVID. I can't imagine them counting days and holding them against any unfortunate employee to contract it. This reflects very poorly on WIS. Am going to mention though, I don't think you need to worry about sick leave as I think the school year is over.  Take your 2 days of leave now OP.[/quote]

The school year is definitely over. But if I am too ill to teach virtual lessons, I have to find a substitute and take leave, just like usual. It’s not like I get vacation from Wednesday to August, so I need to plan. And given my underlying health issues, I frequently see specialists and can’t always choose appointment times that coincide with my schedule, so there are reasons unrelated to the new virus to be conservative with leave.

I wish I could be confident that WIS would be understanding in the future. A week ago, I would have had no doubt. But now I seriously think they would cut my paycheck as a lie in a hallway on a ventilator.  That sounds dramatic, and I hope it is, but their stubborn refusal to listen to public health experts thh hi is week doesn’t give me the confidence I once had. [/quote]

Omg you are fine to go in. You were already teaching in there being exposed if it was in your school already. If you are that bad, you should not teach at all and get a note if you can’t go in![/quote]

By that logic, we should never close. [/quote]
