Make it mandatory for vulnerable, high risk workers to be sent home
Some employers have sent their high risk vulnerable workers home, other multi million pound companies are refusing to send their employees home without the government making it mandatory that these high risk groups need to self isolate.
The option is to be off work unpaid, people cannot afford to take the time off work. Until this is enforced employers are having high risk people working in customer facing environments, which is not only life threatening but going against social distancing policies and not keeping people safe at work.
