Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious? They're claiming it's due to allergies, but I've gotten several confidential concerns from employees and customers alike due to the current enviornment.

Do you require mask wearing, frequent hand sanitizing and social distancing at work ? If so, that may help alleviate any concerns especially right now ?

Working w changing Covid policies and protocols in the past 8 months, I think it may be an education opportunity / agenda topic for all staff meeting or all staff email maybe? Maybe remind all about Covid expectations and ask if anyone has questions / concerns in the protocols you have in place ( if in person meeting and if they don’t want to ask in front of others, they can reach out later)?

Also do you require a daily employee symptom questionnaire ? Is coughing her only symptom ?

Yes we do, our process is to have the employee remain home if they are exhibiting symptoms. Symptoms are coughing, sneezing, sniffing, etc.

It’s def annoying bc I have bad allergies and cough due to it and now everyone looks at me with dirty looks. Like chill mind your own business

If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
