The <br />following policies and procedures are being implemented to assess workers’ health status prior to entering the <br />workplace and for workers to report when they are sick or experiencing symptoms. Employees shall monitor <br />their temperature each day before reporting to work. If a fever or other symptoms consistent with COVID-19 are <br />identified they shall immediately notify their supervisor and/or Human Resources. Employees at the work site <br />who exhibit signs and/or symptoms of COVID-19 shall notify their supervisor and/or Human Resources. They will <br />be directed to leave the work site immediately. Upon consultation with their physician, they shall not report to <br />work until cleared by their physician, symptoms have subsided, and they are without a fever for three (3) days. <br />Supervisors shall notify HR as soon as possible. If an employee experiencing symptoms is unable to leave work <br />immediately, they shall immediately quarantine themselves from all other persons until they are able to leave <br />the job site. <br />Elk River has implemented leave policies that promote workers staying at home when they are sick, when <br />household members are sick, or when required by a health care provider to isolate or quarantine themselves or <br />a member of their household. Employees may utilize sick leave or other accrued paid leaves when they are sick, <br />or quarantined due to a potential exposure. If they have no leave balances, in a pandemic they may request <br />donated leave for illness or quarantine. Accommodations for workers with underlying medical conditions or who <br />have household members with underlying health conditions have been implemented. Employees are <br />encouraged to work from home as work exists if they have underlying medical conditions or have household <br />members with underlying health conditions. If work does not exist, employees may utilize sick leave, vacation, <br />or available compensatory time. <br />Elk River has also implemented a policy for informing employees if they have been exposed to a person with <br />COVID-19 at their workplace and requiring them to quarantine for the required amount of time. Human <br />Resources shall interview any person contracting COVID-19 at work and identify all potential personnel contacts. <br />Each potential contact will be informed of a possible exposure and required to quarantine for seven (7) days and <br />monitor for fever and other symptoms. If fever and symptom free at the conclusion of the quarantine, the <br />employee may return to work. <br />
