Looking for a bit of advice —
My California-based company has been hybrid basically since the pandemic. This week we had a mandatory on-site, all staff meeting. The following day I tested positive for COVID. I reported my status to my direct supervisor, head of HR, and another HR representative with the direct ask they notify all staff as we were all in close proximity in a room together, for about 4 hours (including lunch). I even explicitly wrote I would encourage them to share my name in the notification and would wave all HIPPA rights to do so to keep my colleagues safe and give them piece of mind.
That email went out 24 hours ago, and basically crickets. The HR rep did reply all asking for company guidance but that's as far as it went.
We host a global event each year so optics around COVID have always been….frankly deplorable at best.
Does anyone know if mandatory reporting to staff who were likely exposed is required by OSHA or anything? We did receive a PPP loan if that has any bearing.
