Positive Covid Test
- Thread starter Cateye77
- Start date
I believe automatic 14 day quarantine. You may be able to use your own sick time. There was vague mention of short term disability usage
Around the 8-11 day mark, they want a negative test so you can return to work.
You may try and push the issue and get tested multiple times. I have heard if it's closer than 14 days, you may need two negatives in a row, 24 hours apart.

I believe 2 negative tests. Currently it seems to be easier for people around here to get back to work after testing positive than being exposed. Exposed at this point is 14 days after the last person in your home had a positive test. For many this has been 20ish days. After you have a positive test though 2 negatives should get you back to work

Can you get fired for refusing to get tested?

I had Covid in July. You put in for Covid pay first (10 days). Once symptoms are gone for 72 hours you test again to see if you get a "negative" result. It took me 5 tests and six weeks before finally testing negative. You can file for short term disability after your initial 10 day Covid pay. And make sure you call The Hartford also.

Anyone here that tested positive needed no re test only whatever the dept of health recommended which was usually 10-14 days with no symptoms after said positive test. Seems closer to ten lately. Anyone exposed has needed a negative test before returning to work. Seems ass backwards, but par for the course.

So cases are up nationwide. They’re gonna be way up for the next few months. That’s just simple facts.
How completely screwed are some
Centers gonna be? We know there’s no way ups has any plan in place for this if it hits a center or area hard.

Just had a driver get covid. He was talk to not tell anyone. He txt everyone he could to spread the word.
Now management is trying to say you can't quarantine just because you came in contact with him.

You know ups is going to tell you whatever they think you’re dumb enough to believe
Health department needs to get involved
Wow. Last month I was forced to quarantine by management because I was exposed to a driver who tested positive.
The policy changes based on whatever is convenient for them it seems.

Allergic to cardboard.
With as much congregating around the computers as there is every morning, my building would be screwed if they actually followed quarantine guidelines.

BS. You can easily book a zoom appointment with your doctor and get a quarantine instantly for that.

Yes it's absolutely BS. They are just trying to see who they can intimidate into continuing to come to work.

We have had very few cases in my building. Especially for the numbers the city has. Things could change really quickly.
We've had 1 case.
Out of almost 60 drivers.
And it was basically the flu, as per him. He wasn't impressed.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Everybody is underestimating the chaos that’s about to ensue
If you live in a state with cases still exploding, your odds of contracting are much higher working inside of a major UPS hub.
UPS is about to find out what happens when a major player in the economic game grossly and purposefully understaffs their operation. The game is changing forever RIGHT NOW. Buckle up

We’ve had a number if guys whose spouses have had it.
At worst it was mild flu symptoms for them.
