Knowing Your Rights as an Employee During the Covid-19 Outbreak

The employer can instruct a sick employee to utilise their sick leave entitlement; however, if an employee has not been instructed to be self-quarantined, the employer cannot force an employee to take leave.

All-in-all, these laws are put in place to protect both employers and employees. Always remember to take necessary precautions to avoid contracting the virus and infecting others if you’re experiencing symptoms. So, be responsible and wear a mask if you’re showing any symptoms at all. If you’re unwell, be sure to get yourself checked immediately and don’t attend social gatherings, meetings or turn up at work. One cannot be more careful these days.
