Hi All,

I wanted to echo that we are using screening questions after approving someone to come into shelter as mentioned above. We are also taking similar steps to manage staff/client risk. We have bedrooms/bathrooms identified for separate use (for now) by anyone displaying symptoms.

A question for the group…is anyone compensating staff differently than normal pay for working onsite at this time and, if not, are you planning to if they will be working directly with known sick people?

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions!

Hi Janice,

Thanks! That’s what we’ve been discussing for residential staff as well…paying time and a half in the event of a diagnosed case on site. In that instance, are you planning to pay time and a half to any essential staff working on site? I ask because our hotline staff is asking about time and a half but they work on a different floor and don’t have contact with shelter clients. Just trying to get a feel for how agencies are handling compensation for nonresidential essential staff.
