@jca2 @Tropical_Willie No, he is working from home now. He is being paid the same at home or in the office.
My husband just told me it is December 21st, I had heard him incorrectly. Still a bad date right before Christmas.
The company is bringing employees back in phases. The first company phase starts when Nashville is in opening phase three, which I think starts next week, but I am not sure. Company phase one is the first group of people that were selected to go back to the office full time, and the company will see how it goes. Assuming it goes well, then the phase two group gets added in a month later, and then the next phase is maybe two weeks after that, I don’t remember exactly. My husband is in the last company phase.
If the city of Nashville backs up because they have a big outbreak, let’s say they go back to phase two in the city, then my husband’s company will halt their progression into the next company phase, and his reentry would be delayed again.
Originally, my husband was supposed to go back in September, but the city has had cases so high it has been in the same phase for months, and everything got delayed for the employees to return.
His company is having employees pick 30 minute windows to arrive to the office (I think it is 6am through 10 am) they reserve their time. They are trying to control crowding in the lobby and elevators. They occupy 4 floors in a 20 story building. The employees are required to wear KN95 masks whenever in public areas (the company is supplying them) including walking from their parking space into the building. Some of them park in a lot that is a couple of blocks away, some people walk and some take a shuttle bus. That’s another reason for the 30 minute windows, the limited space on the shuttle.
When they get up to their floor they have a temperature check before going to their office, and then they can take off their mask. If they get up to go to the bathroom or to the cafe they need to mask up again.
