14 Day Isolation Letter

Written by the-main-gap-account

The government is announcing instant lockdowns on an almost daily basis on Twitter.

Your staff may have to go into self-isolation after a week in sunny Manchester.

Therefore we recommend giving out this letter to all staff who have holiday booked in the next month, so that everything is clear before they go.

All staff will need to be paid the same amount, i.e. all take unpaid leave, or all get SSP.

Do not discriminate between departments or full time/part time staff.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear (insert name of employee),

You may be aware that, due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, international travel for holiday has been banned until recently.

Following a recent change in policy from the government regarding international travel, you are now able to travel internationally for holiday.

However, you must self-isolate for 14 days, if you have returned from a country that is not exempt from quarantine rules.

If you have to self-isolate on return from your holiday (or travelling abroad for any reason other than for business) to the UK [and cannot work from home] you will not be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).

In this case you will need to request additional holiday or a period of unpaid leave to accommodate the 14-day self-isolation period.

The Company will apply the usual discretion whether to allow this or not.

OR

If you have to self-isolate on return from your holiday (or travelling abroad for any reason other than for business) to the UK [and cannot work from home] you will only be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). {NB you are not legally required to do this and will not be able to claim it back from the govt}

Please bear in mind, that the government may implement quarantine rules regarding particular countries or areas at very short notice.

Yours sincerely
