Trenta sized freak out (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by warpedrivka
I tested positive for covid and am currently waiting out my quarantine right now. My manager is out sick totally unrelated and my dm has been helping. So I contacted my dm on Monday morning to double check that I didn't need to use my sick time, and she verified that my quarantine would indeed be paid. Now its the last paycheck of the month, and of course my paycheck is 20% of what it normally is and I need to pay my freaking mortgage. I'm losing my mind. I contacted my dm again to ask if something had gone wrong but I am losing my mind and don't know how im going to pay my mortgage. I'm afraid that even if it gets fixed it, I won't see that money until next paycheck. I was wondering if anyone knew, is isolation pay less then normal pay? If you took cat pay last spring does it disqualify you from getting isolation pay?

Not a Starbucks employee so I'll let much more qualified people advise to you.

I will say, though, you **need** to talk to your mortgage company as soon as possible, don't delay even a moment. I know, for a fact, that most of them are trying very hard to work with their customers. They're very aware that their customers are being placed in untenable situations not of their own making. There are options, but only if you reach out (you might even be able to do something on-line).

Otherwise.... Hug. I hope it gets better soon.

Isolation pay is whatever hours you were scheduled for during the weeks you are quarantined

ETA: isolation pay is your normal rate and you are allotted 2 paid two week isolation periods regardless of if you took the cat pay.
