Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Corona virus forced quarantine (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ItsMamaB
Okay, so a store in my district had to quarantine the entire morning staff because someone was exposed to COVID-19. There have been people at my work who I know spouses work in the nursing field and all that. So to some extent I fear having to be quarantined myself.
If this same thing does happen to my store, do I get paid for the leave? Am I going two weeks without pay (because that's how long the leave is for)?
I just literally cannot afford to not have a job right now. If I go without pay I will lose my house.
What do you guys know about all this mess?

My understanding, not having had to quarantine myself (I’ve been on LOA / cat pay since March) but having spent a lot of time looking at the documents, is that the first time you have to quarantine, you will be paid for the two weeks with cat pay. Any subsequent quarantines would not be covered, but you can use vacation / sick time. Although I do believe they’ll cover you with cat pay if you actually test positive.

Anyone feel free to correct me.

I can confirm this as someone who had to quarantine. They told me that if I had to do it again I would not get CAT pay for it but could use whatever sick/vacation hours I had.

You get paid during your first quarantine.

This scarly sounds like my store most of my morning crew including me got quarantined and i was told basicly the same thing, that we could use the 2week cat pay or any sick time or vacation time we had to cover the two weeks.
