If you work for Essex County and you come to work with swine flu-like symptoms, you'd better just plan on going back home.
The Press Repbulican reports that Essex County lawmakers decided by split vote that county employees who come to work with swine-flu symptoms will be sent home. The County Board of Supervisors voted yesterday to allow department heads to order workers who may have the H1N1 influenza virus to go home. County Attorney Daniel Manning the tird said anyone sent home would use sick, vacation, personal or comp time while off. If they had no time off coming, they could use sick days borrowed from the next year. He said quote -- “Department heads will have the ability to send that employee home or order that employee not to come to work until at least 24 hours after the subsidence of symptoms.”
