(4/13) COVID-19 Employer Trends Survey

By Joanne Kaldy / April 13, 2020

Despite the challenges of managing COVID-19 response, only 12% of companies say they have received a COVID-19-related complaint from their employees. According to a new survey, the complaints that employers have received address issues such as remote-work-related challenges and requests to shut down offices.

Nearly 7% of companies say that—to date—they have had at least one employee test positive for COVID. In response to this:

  • 23% of respondents converted their workplaces to remote scenarios for all non-essential personnel.
  • 17% continued operations but with modifications.
  • 3% closed the entire work site.
  • Many says they deep-cleaned and sanitized their facilities and required employees to quarantine and self-isolate.

For the COVID-positive employee:

  • 54% of employers say they provide full pay during the worker’s time off.
  • 12% say they provide unpaid leave.
  • 45% say the allow the employee to use paid time off and then move to unpaid leave

Of those employers that had to temporarily shut down business operations, 49% say they continue to pay employees.
