[quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice.  My employer tested positive for Covid almost a month ago.  She immediately took a second test and that one came back negative. She assured me that her doctor was confident it wasn’t covid and the second test was the more accurate test.  She took another test for work last week and that test came back positive.

Her doctor now thinks she had covid weeks ago and is clear but testing positive. Both kids tested negative, but they only had the rapid tests.   I was told that it was my choice if I wanted to continue working, but I would not be paid if l wanted to quarantine until she tested negative. My concern is what if she’s newly positive.  She is not as strict as I am about social distancing.

My husband and father are high risk so I’m really worried about exposure, but it would be a hardship to go without a paycheck.

Can MB’s please offer some input on what you think is fair and how you would handle this situation if it were your nanny?   I’ve been with them for almost 10 years and besides this year, have taken six days of sick leave.

Am I out of line in thinking I should be paid until she tests negative?

Thanks in advance[/quote]
