<p class="MsoNormal">At Friday’s PLD Director’s Meeting in Newport, a few people requested that I send out the Coronavirus Policy I mentioned I’ve been working on.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few caveats—this is a draft that no one else has laid eyes on, including my board. 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. Care to share your thoughts? <o:p></o:p></p>
