Right now as I write this post, there are a husband and wife that are full time employees of TVRH that have tested positive and are self quarantined at home until they each test negative at least twice.
They need our help. Fundraiser by Jennifer Grinvalds : Please help, I have Covid and can’t work.. PLEASE Donate to their GoFundMe account as little or as much as you can .
FYI I am just a friend that knows they need our help.  |
No businesses that I know of pay WC for the virus illness. Not even the police or fire depts do. WC has to be proven to be work related and as you said, thats impossible. Most people should have accrued vacation or sick time on the books. If not, then its time to dip into the savings acct
