No, but that sounds par for the course.

I thought the government actually gave money to the companies for this very reason , to compensate employees during leave. I’m sure Fred probably just kept it
It will be fine

Companies get a tax credit for 2 weeks of rona leave per employee.

Consider yourself lucky maybe it happened before they made adjustments, we had a guy go out because he tested positive first thing they said was he didn't get it at work so he had to use all his sick 5 vacation and then request short term disability.

Was it your time....vacation, personal days, floaters, sick days?
It was my understanding that if you self quarantine (stay home, but don't test positive), you have to use your time. If you test positive, you don't need to use your time, they will pay you minimums.
No I did not use any vac, personal, sick, FMLA. I was never tested. My son tested positive and I was told to take two weeks off. It was not self quarantine but FedEx mandated by MEM. I would have worked or raised hell if I had to use my benefits time to stay home. On the flip side, my wife a nurse continued to work at the hospital and was also not tested as neither of us had any symptoms

We've had someone out for a couple of weeks now after their family member tested positive. They aren't on the schedule for next week too. When asked how FedEx handles this we were told they handle every situation on an individual basis. I personally think this is a line of BS; it seems like there would be a consistent guideline for everyone in this situation. I guess we will know more when our co-worker returns to work.

We’ve been told if we travel to “ hot spot “ states , a mandatory 2 weeks quarantined. You must use any paid leave you have left
makes sense really. you choose to put your self at risk. not sure how it could be enforced unless your really honest. I dont announce my vacation plans

Well , as fed ex goes you pick vacations long before the actual vacation as you know. When I vacation , I have everything paid for before I go , much more enjoyable. So there’s that

Well....at least they didn't force you to use your time. But, should have given you the option to. Just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean you don't have it. One of my co-workers wife had it. They wouldn't test him because he didn't have enough of the symptoms. They did make him stay home and use his vacation or sick days (not sure which).
PS..Thank your wife for doing what she does. My wife's a nurse also and they turned her unit into a COVID floor for 3 weeks.
same to your wife. Mines in L&D and so far no covid on her floor. I'll take the 3 hour hit with min pay rather than burn my sick time or vac for when I need or want it.
Sorry you got paid your minimums???
I got nothing
Not at all. But I would have worked If I had to use paid time of mine. I was not sick. Sorry to hear you got screwed. there needs to be a consistent policy!
