Covid pay for helpers?

[Red Devil]

Does anyone know if helpers get Covid pay? Theoretically a helper could have two weeks of work left at this point, as they sometimes work into mid January. But does the Covid pay include seasonal employees? We have not been tested yet but we were in close contact with another driver who has it.

Lol
Good luck trying to collect
You obviously don’t know who you’re dealing with

Probably not

I know they will not make it easy to get it. I was wondering if seasonals are entitled to it whatsoever, or not.

Blah misread that.

Don’t have two weeks left, got 3 days.

They use some helpers until mid-January, pardner.

Nah but you can personally sue the driver if you can prove he gave you covid and you contracted it and lost wages and get punitive damages.

And this is why you refuse to use a helper.

You're a employee with a employee ID #. So yes tell them you have covid and need to quarantine. Be prepared to show proof.

Party's over:

Mitch McConnell Successfully Blocked Mandatory Paid Leave For Workers With COVID

Congress did not extend the paid leave mandate in its $900 billion COVID aid bill. Democrats hope to try again next year.

That’s what I am afraid of. We may not have it anyway but I would like to know if I should be isolating especially from vulnerable friends and relatives. It would be pretty tragic to infect somebody with it so close to the vaccine coming out. Plus I wouldn’t mind the two weeks off honestly. But if I get tested it only makes sense for the helper to get tested too. The guy doesn’t have two dimes to rub together so if he ends up in a situation where UPS doesn’t need him and he also can’t start work at his fallback job it won’t be good. I was trying to get some info on it before I get tested so I can inform him of the situation and see if he wants to go with me or not. Management either doesn’t know, or won’t say. Haven’t had a chance to talk to HR yet.

Maybe he can start a gofundme.

They've been using the "lied to, ft combination drivers, huddled in the corner praying to be worked" as helpers.

We haven't had "helpers" in a while.

I've said it before...

I'll say it again...

Personnel should be throat punched for leading those people on.

How would this work? With all the information out there now about all the different places and ways you can contract the virus how on earth could you prove you got it from one specific person?

Here the “combination” drivers are working 55-60 hours a week.

The only combo our drivers get is from wherever they have lunch.

Not one person hired as a Ft Combination Driver/22.4 has worked inside at my center.
