Screening and Self-reporting COVID-19 Symptoms/Exposure Policy


Summary

This template is a screening and self-reporting symptoms/exposure policy that governs employees' obligation to have their temperature taken, to complete a health/exposure screening template before entering the workplace, and to self-report any symptoms of COVID-19 (or potential exposure) to their employer. It contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and an alternate clause. This template is intended for private employers. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. This screening and self-reporting symptoms/exposure policy is based on federal law, and it also includes California and New York state law distinctions. It does not address all potential state law distinctions; thus, you should check any relevant state and local laws.
