U PDATED INTERNAL OPERATING PROCEDURES HANDLING

OF CORONAVIRUS AND OTHER RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES

This guide is intended to assist facility Managers and Directors in addressing concerns regarding Coronavirus and other respiratory illnesses. As new information is shared by public health officials, this guide will be updated. All questions should be directed to the Safety Office at 301-454-1781. This is the central number, which can be reached on a 24- hour basis. Direct mobile numbers also are provided on the last page of this document.

The ADA and related Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance limits an employer’s inquiry into an employee’s health condition and requires us to be mindful of confidentiality issues surrounding an individual’s health information. Because of the potential impact of the ADA and related statutes and regulatory guidance, for any matters related to an individual’s health information, supervisors are to contact Bill Dickerson or Tracey Harvin in the M- NCPPC General Counsel’s Office at 301-454-1670, which will coordinate with the Safety Office.

For issues pertaining to employees or job applicants, the Legal Office also will coordinate with the Human Resources Director.

However, management can and should act on any objectively observable concerns of workplace safety that come to their attention. Therefore, individuals should be immediately sent home until the situation can be evaluated by the Safety Office, who will coordinate with public health officials, if:

1. An individual informs management they have tested positive for COVID-19;2. Management has otherwise been notified that an individual has tested positive for COVID-19; or3. An individual exhibits objectively observable concerns (for example, respiratory symptoms, coughing, etc.)

If the individual is an employee, he/she will be placed in the leave status appropriate under the circumstances. The appropriate leave status will be determined by the Department Head, in consultation with Legal and the Human Resources Director.

The need for disclosure of health information to other employees/visitors should only be done in consultation/partnership with, and guidance of, the appropriate Health Department officials and the agency’s Safety and Legal Offices.

On the following pages, please review all information that addresses the scenarios in greater detail.

The last pages of this document addresses paid leave benefits under the recently passed Employee Paid Leave Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act

Coronavirus Response Act of 2020

Effective April 1, 2020, the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCR Act”) requires employers to provideadditional paid sick leave for specific reasons related to COVID-19. This leave is not retroactive but is available until December 31, 2020.

The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) also has been amended to expand qualifying events for which employees may take time off from work. Employees may now request time off to care for children due to qualifying needs related to a public health emergency until December 31, 2020. The FMLA provides individuals up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during his/her absence from work. However, under the FFCR Act, employees may use paid leave benefits (explained below) for which they qualify to replace any unpaid FMLA leave.

The available paid leave is explained below.

• Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSL):o Employees are eligible for a combined total of two weeks for qualified reasons (see chart on next

care of a child in response to COVID-19 (see chart on next pages).

This Leave:

o Is in addition to the agency provided Social Distancing Leave/pay of 40 hours which was previously granted to employees.

o Any paid leave provided under the EPSL or EFMLA runs concurrently with any Family Leave Act entitlement of 12 weeks.

o Leave may be taken intermittently or on a continuous basis, subject to meeting the qualifying requirements.

Employees should provide notice of anticipated leave as soon as possible and may be required to follow reasonable notice procedures in order to continue receiving paid sick time. Paid sick time provided under this Act does not carryover from one year to the next and employees are not
