Working with LD and COVID-19

[Bubbles99]

Hope everyone is safe and well. Thoughts please, my adult daughter works for Sainsburys, only a few hours but I took her out of work prior to lockdown, unpaid of course although she has asthma so vulnerable, more because of her LD and social distancing!! Has there been any mention of LD and when they can safely return to work and if they should still be paid even if part of their wage ? Thank you

Hello Bubbles99

This is an excellent question. I will see if I can find out more. It would be great to hear if anyone else has any direct experience of this too.

Thanks

Sarah

Thank you for your reply, very interesting!

I hope you and your Dad are coping ok, there appears to be plenty of neighbourhood support, which is very good to hear. All the best. Tracey
