The counter person ended up going to the hospital for what appeared like flu-like symptoms a day later. The counter person was quarantined for 8 hours in the hospital and then sent home for a week along with another employee from the distributor of alarm equipment as it takes 3 days to get results back for CoVid19. We were on pins and needles for a day. Do I have to shut down my entire company? Per your previous column, do I have to pay them? Can I put off all installations and service calls for 2 weeks? Shutting down the company for 2 weeks... just think of that... Starting tomorrow, my service techs will not report to the company and have interaction with other techs to lessen the possibility of exposure across the company, service Dept will continue taking care of everyone with business as usual (assuming they don’t shut down the entire country...). If I lose any service technicians to sickness and have to send techs home I’ll pull from the installation department and out off new installs and make sure my paying customers are taken care of. Office staff can always work from home. The results came back negative for the infectious disease and we return to work with the plan above in place starting tomorrow. My cute little wife says I think too much... what are your thoughts? Yours for better security, Steve Sopkin, President Mijac Alarm ********************** Response ********************** Lot's of uncertainty; lot's of questions.
