What should I do as a supervisor if an employee appears ill with 2009 H1N1 flu symptoms and is still working? Am I authorized to send the employee home?
The CDC recommends that the employee take sick leave and go home immediately so as to avoid infecting others in the workplace. The employee can use sick leave, vacation, or accumulated compensatory time off if available. Important: Before sending the employee home, supervisors must contact the Human Resources division of Employee Relations, Policy Development, and Work/Life (ERPDWL), (858) 534-4115.
