They might not receive a paycheck.... but they shouldn't be fired.

They are forcing my wife back to work tomorrow that was their exact words you either come back to work, or they consider her as terminated from her job. They don't want to pay a severance so wont be a lay off.

It is an odd situation to have managers who are not allowed to come in to the office force an employee to return to the office and into a possible dangerous situation. I told her to assess the situation if it's not safe she is to call them and leave the area. Were not sure what measures they have taken to limit the numbers in the area where she will be.

If your wife doesn't feel comfortable returning to work contact a lawyer and find out her legal options. We're living in usual times.
Speak with an attorney

Yea, some tough realities lately. I feel for you. Out of curiosity, how is her health and age?

I can see a LOT of employers sacking employees who refuse to return to work unless strict distancing and sanitizing measures are put into place. A lot of employers just don't give a damn about employees.

Were in our 50's some health issues typical American somewhat overweight. Covid-19 has some unusual patterns. From my own investigation if your immune system has some sort of pre-existing immunity, or maybe genes that the virus is minor cold like symptoms the 80% they talk about.

If your one of the unlucky people who it severely attacks the lungs, and your not in perfect health younger in age survival is lot less. If you look at those pictures of younger 35 year olds who died they all seem to be on the heavier side typical American obesity health issues.

I told her to just sit there keep calling manager ask them what to do. They can't terminate for asking what to do, and if they lay off she get 6 months of severance and unemployment also. The company has been given essential worker status because it's a electric utility so they can make her go to work. I don't think they have approval to lay off.

No employer can make any worker come to work with the shelter in place orders....the below allows for 2 weeks and as much as being off for 10 weeks with pay.

Take a look at the The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or Act) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. These provisions will apply from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020

There are plenty of options in there and I don't see any employer challenging any employee requesting such, first off the company gets reimbursed so its a benefit that won't cost them.......but I am not so naive to think some employers won't retaliate in a way that they can get by with.

COngrats! Yep, no evidence yet of a price correction in Phoenix. It will eventually happen and might be precipitated by this virus if it drags on too long.

I was curious to see if homes are still selling in the current market, do we have any data yet? Now that the virus seems to be easing up we are planning on having our house on the market within ~1-2 weeks.

Thanks!

Rob

The real question is will you be buying another $900k home in the next 60 days?
