The hazard I am reporting is COVID-19 related. Appropriate and state mandated protocol is not being followed in order to ensure employee and customer safety. First, temperatures of employees entering the building are not being taken at all. The only time someone gets their temperature taken is when the individual requests to have their temperature taken, at that point we are told to do it ourselves, which increases risk of exposure due to increased touching of a service, and no sanitation happening in between uses. There is no log being kept of employee temperatures. Additionally, proper mask wearing in not being implemented. Employee?s are wearing their masks below their noses, or even under their chins. Employees also remove their masks as soon as the restaurant closes to the public, and they then do their closing duties around other employees without social distancing or wearing masks. Even more concerning, we recently (last week) had an employee miss work due to Covid like symptoms, he posted on his social media about having a cough and a fever for over a week that he couldn't kick, and that it was the most sick he has ever been in his life. He claims to have taken a covid-19 test and got a negative result, but I do not believe proof of this was provided. He also came back to work 2 days after posting that he was so sick from fever that he felt like he was dying, and when he returned to work he still had a cough. I am unsure if his temperature was taken upon his return to work, but I feel it is highly unlikely. Our company protocol is that when you are sick you are supposed to be in communication with corporate and they make the determination of when it is safe to return to work, however our management has not enforced this protocol, and they are taking it upon themselves to make the determination of when a sick employee can return ( corporate suggests 3 days after being symptom free, however management approved return while said employee still has symptoms). There have been multiple other sick employees who have not had to communicate with the corporate office either. All employees at this location have been exposed to these unsafe working conditions.

An employee with COVID symptoms returned to work without the mandatory 72 hours of being fever free per protocol. 20 + employees in contact with the person plus all the guests in the building.
