CA interpretation of sick time coverage, assistance please
According to this CA statement and from an employment law perspective, for a Union employee who works regular shifts and needs to find coverage for their shift due to illness, should the employee still be working on finding coverage once the shift has started and they haven't been able to find a replacement in advance? There's a big difference between finding coverage for an evening shift with more time throughout the day to find a replacement but logically, for a morning shift, there isnt as much time to find a replacement if the shift starts at 8am or 8:30am. Just say the employee worked on finding coverage from 6am - 8:30am and has reported this to their employer, should the employer take over at this point? What if the supervisor has instructed the ill employee to keep working on the call out list and report back?
