It's frustrating. We have no office hours and staff can work anywhere with internet - and anytime so long as they get work done. They are salaried no incentive to show up at offie whatsoever. We've sent emails, reminded at in person meetings. Yet they still show up coughing. One employee like every minute a dry cough.. We talked to them in person, sent them home. And then they show up two days later same cough if not worse! The excuse: i had an in person meeting!!!

drives me insane. I can only do so much and really feels like the only thing I can control is my exposure but I don't want to over react and become a hermit

if we cant get our salaried staff who can already work from anywhere to stay home I feel scared that there's no way in hell hourly service workers would do it.

There are at least 6 people on my team who come into work when they are sick. All of us can work from home, have excellent medical insurance, and are on salary. I asked in a staff meeting and was told that telling or suggesting people go home violates their right to privacy.
