Can your boss make you come to work during coronavirus outbreak?

“The answer depends on the job you have,” said Richard Reice, a lawyer who heads the labor enforcement division at the law firm Michelman & Robinson.

Federal guidelines allow state and local authorities to decide which businesses are essential during crises. Generally, grocery store workers, food laborers, medical staff along with utilities and transportation workers are considered essential. Government workers, law enforcement and emergency personnel are also included.

It’s also costly for employers to fire responsible staffers and find skilled laborers on short notice, though, there’s a coronavirus-related caveat. Fryatt said his boss is thoughtful, “but if I were asked to go back in right now, I’d have to say, ‘No.’ He’d have to lay me off, fire me or just be OK with it.”
