So this past monday I tested positive for Covid on two at home tests. I even took a third one from a different brand to be sure. The symptoms hit me like a truck so I never made it to the Dr. My sister assured me I'd be paid for the state and didn't need a test from the Dr to prove it so I was like “okay cool” .
Now I'm back at work and since I'm sort of HR for my job (I wear many hats we are a very small business so I take care of backend stuff including what a normal HR person would do but with no formal training) I'm realizing the Covid forms I'm finding require a Stay at home or quarantine test from a Dr…
I was home all 5 days with the assumption I was going to be paid and so I for once felt okay taking the time to recover. (I always show up to work with a mask if I'm sick because I don't get a lot of PSO/PTO they're pooled into 40 hours for the entire year)
Is there any way around this? I should've done more research on my end and I should've gone to the Dr but there's no going back and changing that sadly. So I guess I'm just trying to understand my options here 🙁
