That might mean more work for someone who is already there, but in today's world the workers are already stretched by layoffs and the need to do more work than ever before. So, now you have to call someone else in to cover. If you pay the sick employee and then someone to come in, your staffing costs just doubled. Do it for the week that the school wants the child to stay out. If you are already struggling, how long can you afford to pay extra staff before you have to start swinging the layoff axe again?

I am adamantly against any mandatory vaccination program and/or intimidation of the school administrators to forced our kids to get vaccinated. Be prepared to know how to response if this happens. Does anyone share this view? Thanks! Jeanne B. hello,

I have to understand the guidelines and how they fairly differentiate in theur requirements for employers who have varying resources available and how their requirements would reflect their financial status.
