[QUOTE="JohnDeere8530, post: 8051546, member: 170"] My Dad has a house keeper on PAYE for 20hrs/week He now has Covid and luckily has no symptoms at all He mentioned it to the House Keeper, which tbh is a pia She now wants a week off on full pay in case she catches it off him. Ironically every afternoon she works in a discount food shop, without batting an eyelid and has done through the entire pandemic, so this really is just an excuse for her I know the law has changed, as now it is no longer mandatory to isolate after testing positive. That said, of course it is wise to stay out others' way if possible. The farmhouse is very large and total distance can be kept between the two of them And/or he can stay out on the farm walking the fields with his dog, which he loves when she is at work (4hrs/day) So, in theory, she could come to work and not be at any risk - with the exception of touching something that he has touched, like dinner plates His question is, should she be able take the time off on full pay, which she is basically using Covid as an excuse?. Or can he say the time off is coming out of her holiday entitlement? Or lastly, as its possible for him to stay totally out of her way can he insist she comes into work - and if she doesn't then he doesn't pay her? A bit of a murky area I think? [/QUOTE]
