they have a strict attendance policy that forces people to come in or lose 3 "attendance points" per... missed shift. You get .25 points for a perfect shift, and only get a maximum of 16 points. Once you go below 8 points, you start getting attendance notifications. Lots of people coming to work sick. They have run out of hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.Show More >

IT staff is working from home but the rest of us are asked to come in to the office. they said they'll be deciding on the status of potential office closures

They are not enforcing disinfecting or other safe work practices regarding covid 19

Open office concept, not adhering to social distancing requirements

We are not an essential service right now. Most can do work from home. We need to do our part and st...op the spread. Morale is at an all time low as it seems they are putting employee lives at risk for a non essential service.Show More >

We work for a publicly traded company and their response to this pandemic was terrible.

I would love to stay at home to be safe but being a new store probationary employees are only entitl...ed to 6 sick days, and then a doctor's note is required to return to work. I can't afford to not be at work.Show More >

Since not everyone can work from home, no one can, except managers, while we still assemble in close proximity to each other.

The warehouse employs over 200 people with 2 shifts and no precautions taken

An email from them today Dear, The Police Association continues to meet daily with the Police Serv...ice regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Our mandate is and always will be to ensure the safety and well-being of our members and their families. This situation continues to evolve quickly and the information I'm providing today, may change tomorrow. We want to thank the members currently out of the country that reached out letting us know their whereabouts. It's critically important we know where our members are so we can assess their potential risk of being exposed to COVID-19. At present, the Chief has directed that all members travelling and at home should follow the flow chart found posted around the station. The Chief has consulted President — as well as the Senior Leadership team and at this time is not implementing a mandatory 14 day self-isolation period for members returning from abroad. The flow chart outlines steps that should be taken to self-monitor for symptoms. The Chief Medical Officer for —— has issued recommendations for "essential workers". Everyone employed by the Police Service has been deemed to fit into this category. As such we are using the flow chart in accordance with these guidelines. If someone returned from out of country and is symptom free, they can return to work if they are an essential worker at their place of employment. If they go on to develop symptoms they stay home from work and begin their self-isolation. If a family returned from out of country and no one has symptoms, the children are required to self isolate for 14 days however the parents don’t have to. If anyone returns from out of country and they have symptoms that are consistent with Covid-19 they are to self isolate for 14 days The police service has a plan in place for the issuance of Personal Protective Equipment for officers as well as keeping the front desk open.Show More >

The Boss of the dealership just came back on a flight from Florida on March 10th and did not self quarantine, just came into work. business as usual.

In departments that are slow due to cancellation of samples they are moving employees to other, busi...er locations rather than allowing people to stay at home and isolate. Even older employees with pre-existing conditions are still expected to work no matter what.Show More > They say you can WFH if possible but if you ask to you are denied.

If we are totally capable of working form home - we do it if it snows too much - why when the Government is telling it's workers to work from home, do our managers think it's okay to tell us to stay? Sent out email saying to work from if possible but telling us we aren't capable when we have done it in past.

We have work from home option but not allowed as others do not have ability therefore it is not fair. Lackluster response and no direction from leadership

Although my employer is “encouraging” people work from home, they are ill-equipped and unprepared to... actually move 12,000+ employees online. Therefore, there is still pressure to come in to work, as we provide an “essential” service. During a global pandemic, my work is most definitely not essential.Show More >

Nothing has changed since the coronavirus and cant just leave i have a family. 9960 Airport Rd, Brampton, ON L6S 0C5

Im a single parent of three during this outbreak that is sweeping our world by storm i don't know wh...at my children would do if i got sick and had to stay hospitalized for a period of time with that being said all of the other retail stores in my area are closing there doors 6 to 7 pm everyday (that includes grocery store). my work refuess to close by these times and asks there employees to stay open till 10 pm this is unacceptable for me and the safety of my co workers dollarama isn't an essential store that has to stay open for this long. My company does try to take precautions during this pandemic. They have asked us to clean the store in the morning but we deal with many customers a day and i feel that if this virus being so deadly the needs of my peers are not being meet which leads me to believe that they don't care about the health of there staff and only care about making money during this crises the world is facing at this time. i hope that my message reaches someone that can help us out. Thank you 9960 Airport Rd, Brampton, ON L6S 0C5Show More >

Our head office is sending regular updates that it is ok to work from home, however our Winnipeg off...ice is making people work in office/making people feel guilty about working from home. They are not practicing social distancing at Petline and judging those that are not comfortable going into the office. Even if your role is easily done by home and you have worked from home in the past, it doesn’t matter, they want you there in office and are acting like this is just a flu.Show More >

WFH is being considered, but PCI means only a 1/3rd would get it

User made the comment private The head office (admin & execs) has implemented a WFH policy but has mandated that anyone WFH keep it from our retail staff, in case they get jealous. Our retail staff are continuing to work with the public, even as our stores are seeing twice the volume of customers now than they regularily would.

No communication, refuse to pay employee for stay at home

No communication, refuse to pay employee for stay at home

Only high level employees in my area have laptops to work from home; front line do not, and we're told we cannot get more laptops. Only those in self isolation due to travel or symptoms may stay home. Parents need to find child care.

Alberta’s elected officials are cutting budget. The Health is hit hard. They are planning to fire ov...er 7500 public servants, mainly nurses. Their focus is to pass the budget while everyone is distracted by the pandemic. Meanwhile, COVID-19 is spiking through Alberta. The Province is unprepared to react adequately . We don’t have the equipment to enable our staff to work from home. And the staff doesn’t have the necessary approvals from the political leadership to do so. Is this UCP’s way to cut the public service in half? Attrition by death instead of lay offs? @YourAlbertaShow More >

Third party functionality tester. We have NDA's that make it difficult to work from home. My client ...is American and they are all WFH but my company expects the testers to be in office this week. I'm trying to take time off at least. Have yet to hear if it is accepted.Show More >

I am working for a non essential federal department and because we work with objects/material that m...ust stay in the building, we cannot work from home. We share equipment at work and sit less then 6ft away from each other.Show More >

They haven't announced anything how they will handle this situation. They only announced, last week,... that they will make an announcement and never did. So at this point, we are coming to the office for a work we can do completely fine from home.Show More >

My position is very non-essential

No one is taking this seriously WFH not possible (retail). Stores have reduced hours, but head office has full hours & WFH not allowed.

There is no plan in place to deal with the virus.

Subtle pressure requesting us to come in office

Management required to work while staff is off.

No

Standardized rules must come from govt. I'm on vacation right now

I also had tonwork beside a cowoker sick last week. No one sent her home

It would be nice to not have to come in, but that'd be unlikely. At the very least I just want to be... allowed to protect myself. I do have older folks to care for at the end of the day. I don't think that's too much to ask for.Show More >

They are greedy and don’t care about employees health

Company to start allowing WFH for select staff based on results of a questionnaire

Changing cafe layout and procedures to be drive thru only

The company has yet to make a public statement regarding COVID-19. The only in-store memo we got was... to wash our hands. The only stores that have closed are stores that are in areas where all non-essential businesses are required to close. Also, please consider signing this petition: http://chng.it/yRnwXyymFYShow More >

My store and district managers are both self isolating, but the rest of us have to come to work. The... district manager even told those of us with kids and without childcare to bring the children to work!Show More >

The company at least provide the tools to employees. WFH but mostly management level, most employees don’t have tools to WFH so still need to come in

Nothing telling us to stay home. We are in full swing here with 200+ people still asked to come into work

Litterly nothing has changed since this pandemic nothing even gets sterilized but my biggest concer...n is getting my kids sick also too top it off the owner of the company has not showed up along with some of the mangers and they are forcing employees to come in regardless of there medical conditions. 6845 Invader Crescent, Mississauga, ON L5T 2B7Show More >

Quote directly from the Covid-19 information package sent from AutoCanada executives "sell cars not negativity and false information"

They are allowing customers with symptoms to come in. They are a car dealership, they aren’t making sales now anyway, just shut down already...

Compared our jobs to that of first responders. Mentioned that there's options for less customer contact but did not offer working from home.

Classes moved to online. Staff expected to come in and work as usual. WFH only available to those that have symptoms or recent travel history to affected regions

Shame on Canada's "most innovative" university for forcing thousands of administrative employees to ...brave crowded trains and packed streetcars to do work that can be done from any internet-connected computer. How many lives is each day of dithering worth? How many grieving families? What if one of them turns out to be yours? Look to Italy, then look to the people you love most in life, and maybe you'll understand your workers' rage. A few hiccups in service delivery or business continuity is nothing in contrast to what we could be facing within the week. Please.Show More >

They dont have a mandatory Work from Home policy. Unless you are sick or have a cold you are require...d to come in to work. Most people are still coming in to work even with colds because they don't want to be "that person".Show More >

Lots of pools aren't getting pay during this **** down Limit 40 people in pool area
