As the novel coronavirus continues to rage across the nation, many employers are facing a greater potential of exposure in their workplaces than at any time in the past several months.

Questions about how to handle potential coronavirus exposure in the office—and how to deal with employees who may have been exposed or are looking to travel during this pandemic—are pouring into CEDR’s HR Solution Center right now.

To help business owners find answers to the most common coronavirus-related questions quickly, the team at CEDR HR Solutions has compiled an FAQ resource page on how to handle specific coronavirus concerns in your office.

Questions covered in that resource include:

• Can I require employees to be tested for COVID-19?
• Can I require employees to take a COVID-19 antibodies test?
• What do I do if an employee is being tested for COVID-19?
• What do I do if an employee tests positive for COVID-19?
• When can the employee come back to work?
• Do I pay employees for COVID-19-related time off?
• Can I prevent employees from traveling?
• Can I make them get tested in order to return to work after traveling?
• Do I have to pay employees while they are in quarantine?
• Can I exempt myself from Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) requirements?
• Conducting a risk assessment and making a plan.

If you are dealing with a potential exposure event in your office, or if you have employees that want to travel, have traveled recently or are asking about quarantine requirements, you will find answers to the majority of your most pressing questions in this resource.
