1. Many employees from different departments and buildings have tested positive for covid-19. Employees with close contact with the infected employees are not being properly informed because the employer believes exposure occurred in a cubicle area. Staff are working in close quarter cubicle areas with more than 10 people in a small space 2. Consumer traffic is terrible coming in and out of main building. The building is open to everyone now, no more screening prior to entry into the building. 3. Employer does not allow employees to work from home although employees can conduct telehealth sessions, complete documentation, and provide therapy and case management via DOXY from their homes. Employees can provide in-home and in-person visits by request by departing from home. 4. Employer makes if difficult with employees with school-aged children at home with school closures or quarantined. Employer requires employees to use PTO rather than FMLA or the Coronavirus Families First Act. Partner providers such as TTI and Saginaw Psych allow employees to work from home. Employees are forced to work in the office as group punishment because a few employees did not perform well at home during first Stay at Home order. 5. Some employees prefer to work from the office, but not when needing to meet in a tiny office with anxious clients for an hour that do not keep their mask up or on, or with clients that have tested positive. 6.

If she had been properly informed that her supervisor tested positive ahead of time before meeting this disease could have been prevented. 7.
