2 weeks closed

Bulldogs, CNA, EMT-B · Mar 15, 2020

right now we are closed for 1 week and got an email saying we would be paid. As of right now I don’t have to go in this week but was told that could change so be prepared.

We are now closed for 3, I believe we are getting paid.

After today we are closed until April 13th. We work tomorrow to tie up loose ends & learn what the plan is. We've been told hourly people (like me) will have work to do if we want to work. I'd guess cleaning, putting together sack lunch/breakfasts, etc. But who knows...could change as soon as I post this.

I am closed for 2 weeks as of now, we have not been told if we are getting paid or not. I am also paid hourly, so I am at work trying to gather up things I can do from home to get some hours put in. I am hoping we are not out more than two weeks at this point.

We are closed for this week so far. I am hourly also, and am at work cleaning, and helping anywhere else I'm needed to prep for elearning/home learning and meal service. We didn't have to come in if we didn't want to, but we would have not been paid. They did say that if the closure goes into another week, and the teachers had the option to work from home, then they would "look into" what to do for the hourly staff.

I'm salaried and "working from home" starting tomorrow. I've been advised by my principal to produce some sort of newsletter or resources for health for parents and students weekly along with helping out with different administrative tasks. We are a private school and if we are closed for over a month the parent company may start asking our principal who they can fire to save money, so I need a portfolio ready of items I've been doing to contribute over the social distancing break.

All schools in MA are closed (public and private) until April 7th; Our district is paying ALL employees as if they were working their normal hours. This includes hourly employees. THis may change if the closures are extended, but I imagine all salaried employees will still get paid.
