I work remotely for a power gen manufacturer through a temp agency, just got on with the company but that will be in March. I took off last W/Th/F because I was exposed to Covid a lot over the weekend and before anyone jumps on me; I do have medical issues and my doc is always worried about me getting it. Anyways, I was quarantined at home but still working M/T. Got sick Wed am and called off. Tried to work Thursday for a while but had to sleep and let my boss know. Friday I was still sick and my 3 yr old started to projectile vomit (that was the most fun ever) and I still wasn’t feeling good so obviously I take that off.
Come to today when I email my temp company that I was sick, please add 19 hours to payroll and leave it at that. Email back says you only have 8.5 hrs accrued due to how I get it from Colorado law. That’s fine, I want to use part of the 80 hours from the emergency act.
Here’s where I don’t know what to do and I hate that I am so nervous about responding to an email, it sucks folks. How best to respond to the temp agency? I know I am a people pleaser and I defiantly need someone to say “you need to say xxxx”. Sorry for this question. At 40 I should know what to do.
