Hi everyone! I need some advice. The director of our company thinks you should only stay home if you have a very high fever. If I just have a cough and a runny nose but no fever, he makes me come to work.
I’ve already worked two days like this and feel like I’m about to collapse from exhaustion. Clients and coworkers are giving me weird looks because I’m coughing all the time. But my boss still won’t let me go home.
Is there any way to deal with this? Thank you.

    Please be informed that not all infections result with high fevers. One can be quite sick with an infectious disease but with low fever. It is... important for your boss to take Workers Health very seriously. more

    You’re not wrong to be concerned — this is a health, safety, and dignity issue, not a personal weakness.

    Considering your current health, it's advisable to take a sick leave and focus on recovery. This will not only aid in your personal health but also... prevent the spread of illness to colleagues, maintaining a healthier work environment. more

    "Won't let you go home?" I'm sure that's crossing some legal boundaries.
    If you don't prioritize your health noone else will. Visit urgent care or... schedule a reg drs appt. Get an actual diagnosis and
    Ask your doctor for a note directing you to stay home. And stay home as directed.     more
