Transcript of email thread:
Me: Hello, I looked at my paystub and noticed that the COVID pay I was supposed to have received for last week isn't included. Is that going to be a separate check?
HR: You had a negative test for covid. That doesn’t qualify you for covid pay.
Me: Sorry can you clarify? From what I understand, the information provided by dir.ca.gov under the section “Caring for yourself” explains that “experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis” are reasons to take up to 40 hours of leave.
HR: 2 days of covid sick pay will be paid to you today on a separate check, deposited tomorrow. Glad to hear you’re feeling well again
Me: Okay thank you for your help
