[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*to specify I don’t think this should come out of current leave banks. I for one already have negative sick leave from recent maternity leave. I guess I’d just have to come in and infect everyone if we’re gonna put the burden of this virus on the individual! [/quote]

What if you just catch the flu...should you bare the burden for that?  If the taxpayers are giving you extra leave for Covid, why not the flu, or your child's flu or you child's cold?[/quote]

I’ve had the flu and took a week off work. No big deal. I have leave for that (or worst case advancing a week of leave isn’t a big deal). If my child’s school closes for a month, I can’t just take a whole month off. And if I get sick with COVID and only get a mild case then it’s not fair to make me burn up 2 weeks of leave because of the infection period when under normal circumstances I would be returning to work once feeling better. Flexible telework options will help with this some and should be implemented. But some people, through no fault of their own, are not going to be able to work and I don’t think paycheck insecurity should be something the federal workforce is worried about right now.[/quote]
