![]() We know that as far as COVID-19 is concerned, most of us have reached saturation levels when it comes to absorbing information. Regardless of how exhausted we all are, with respect to directives regarding how we need to operate in order to minimise the impact of the virus, it is necessary keep up to date with important information that may impact how you manage your staffing levels and the work flow in your business. Being a close contact does not necessarily mean a 7 day isolation period any longer but there are rules in place that we all must follow so you will need to understand how an employee may have been exposed and how that will impact attendance on site.
Each state and territory has a slightly different approach but Victoria has specifically defined the difference between household contacts as opposed to social/workplace contacts so we have used the Victorian definition below: Social and workplace contacts
As with all things Covid related, the devil is in the detail so for more information, you can check these websites: ACT - Information for people exposed to COVID-19 NSW - Household and close contacts guidelines QLD - Guidelines for close contacts in Queensland SA - Close contacts advice TAS - Advice for close contacts WA - COVID-19 close contacts As always, if you are unsure as to what your obligations are or actions an exposed team member needs to take, the HR Staff n' Stuff team is here to help.
