Thank you for this response.
The employee has Covid-19 (has not shown us a positive test but also isn’t required to). But she called in sick right before Christmas on a day that she had originally booked off for vacation (it got denied for reasons we could not avoid). Then we were shut down over Christmas, and now she has Covid.
I should note that this employee is under her 3 month mark (NL) – so is in her probationary period.
