I’m not even sure my board will want me to be this specific, but I thought I’d work on it just in case. I may decide to generalize it and remove references to this specific virus. I may also completely change the level definitions, our responses to each level, or how we pay days off… this is really just my early working draft. I do like the “levels” approach, though… I know it will make sense to my staff who like having as much clarity and structure as possible. If you notice problems, feel free to point them out to me; I’m still working on it so it’s likely to change anyway. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am curious about your plans to pay staff if they are quarantined or if your library closes. Regular pay? That seems the most logical to me, but then it seems a bit odd to cover the time for someone quarantined but then use sick leave for someone who actually gets sick.
