[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I carefully saved my leave for years and took advanced sick leave so that I could have two children and take two paid maternity leaves.  I finally got my sick leave balance back to zero, after having to use annual leave almost as fast as I accrued it for my children's daycare sicknesses.  I think that Feds like me who have very young children should get a break if both schools and offices close, as we didn't benefit from the forthcoming paid parental leave program and are still in the hole leave-wise.

Loosening rules around telework, including telework with kids at home, is one thing.  [b]Creating broad additional leave[/b] for people with empty balances is another.[/quote]

Just call it quarantine related admin leave. If you are forced to take leave due to government mandate (school closure, office closure, or quarantine due to illness) then you are placed on admin leave.

It’s simple. The government is the one calling the shots on closures and who needs to be quarantined. So why should people lose money because the government’s decisions?[/quote]
