The problem with “ordering" employees back to work under these conditions is that if an employee returns to work and contracts covid, then that person might become disabled for an even longer period of time or even die which would probably cost the business more in the long run than leaving things as they are. Additionally, if an asymptomatic person returns to work, he/she could infect others causing an even greater impact on the operation of the business possibly prompting numbers of lawsuits that the company would not want to spend time or money defending against.Virus deaths are very heavily concentrated among people who are too old and/or sick to be working anywhere. Obviously there are exceptions, and employers can and should make provisions for employees who are at risk, or live with people who are at risk, allowing them to continue working from home. Most employees, however, can come into the office (and use transit to get there) safely. |
