The outbreak of, and media hysteria associated with, the H1N1 swine flu has prompted many businesses to institute contagious illness policies to prevent the spread of the disease.
This is old hat to Confer Plastics. We have had such a policy in place for years. We strongly believe that outbreaks of illnesses (cold, flu, etc.) within a business are detrimental to the physical and financial health of coworkers, clients, and their families and such outbreaks must be prevented.
Our policy is as follows:
In a work environment such as ours where people are working in close proximity to others, preventing the spread of the common cold and influenza is key to maintaining a healthy - therefore productive - workforce. During the cold/flu season it is best that infected personnel stay at home to rest up and to protect their coworkers from contracting said illnesses. Therefore, please stay home if ill and bring with you a doctor’s note upon your return. Along those lines, if someone is deemed to be ill while on the job he/she will be sent home by their supervisor.
This practice applies to visitors as well. We cannot put our workforce and customers at risk and we ask, if not require, that all ill people stay away.
