My wife works for a daycare in NE PA. Last week, one of her co-workers tested positive for COVID. But the owner said that worker had to come in to work anyway. My wife stood her ground and told both the owner and worker that by law, they had to leave work. The worker finally did leave, but not without a fight.
Yesterday, the state inspector showed up for a random inspection. The owner was shaking in their boots. My wife told the inspector all about that incident, as well as the fact that their ratio from kids to employees is generally higher than it’s supposed to be, and that her W-4 was filled out for her when she started working. Everything about this place is shady.
I’m mostly mad because my kids went to that daycare, and I would not have known that they were exposed to COVID if my wife was not working there. They did not let any of the parents know what happened.
My wife is hoping that they try to fire her now, as she would have a good wrongful termination case against the establishment.
