Managers can listen to your situation and have the power, can, and do sometimes override any penalty for someone being 1 minute late. Obviously this is situational but it can be done. Regardless you can be late an awful lot before it has any consequence.
One would think a serious accident on I-4 would impact many going to be late to work and leniency would be considered.
And in many cases situations like that often lead to leniency either across the board to those impacted or situationally at individual leaders discretion.
There’s also the question of whether or not these mandatory checks are on the clock or off the clock.
Channel? Wow I’m bored.After this Pandemic passes I won't be the least bit surprised by the Yankee's branded 3M n95 masks for sale at the ball park.
There‘s no conclusive evidence that suggests this virus is transmittable by wood...thats a totally different virus
I have no actual say but if I were king of the world for a day and the checks are mandated by the employer I’d rule they should be on the clock. Didn’t Amazon have an issue a while back with employees being forced to go through metal detectors and a security check after their shift to ensure they didn’t bring anything home with them? I think they were making them clock out first before waiting for the check which sometimes took 20-30 mins if the line got long. It went all the way to the Supreme Court and they ruled in favor of Amazon hat they didn’t need to be paid. Florida state law may actually be more important in this case if there’s a precedent locally. Disney could also just do the right thing and pay them.
Upshot from Mayor's and Task Force press conference:
Mayor’s decisions that differ from or expand on Florida State (Governor)
- Curfew continues for one more week.
- Permits from local jurisdictions are still required to start or add to outdoor dining.
- [I wonder if Reedy Creek would give Disney Springs restaurants a hard time about this?
- The county will continue to limit assemblies to 10 or less (even for religious services)
- The Task Force and mayor wants hygiene services [barbary] to open, so, a letter is being sent to the governor to allow it.
- Local jurisdictions (towns) determine whether green parks are open.
- Full Executive Order based on Task Force recommendation to come out within a day
Task Force guidelines for businesses reopening
- maintain social distancing
- masks for employees
- wash hands frequently
- screen employees
- temperature screen for staff (over 100 degrees F, go home)
- stay home when sick
- hi risk employees should stay home / work from home
TF looked at supply chain and acquiring PPE and processes for safety
TF tourism group was just marketing garbage speak (“rebrand our tourism industry” blech)
TF recommendations on compliance
- got to educate businesses on compliance
- compliance is required, but want a way to certify and identify those who do comply
- need to establish procedure to report businesses that aren’t complying
Question to mayor about Theme Parks
- likely to open in phases
- some units within the parks might open now in Phase I
- seems to indicate that theme parks will do their own thing when they want while staying within Executive Orders
I think a lot of people are thinking that transition from phase 2 to 3 happens by June 1. I think the truth lies somewhere between 6/1 and Thanksgiving, but I‘m not even going to venture a guess at this point. Gotta at least see how phase 1 goes.
