question about covid pay (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by cmsylvester0417
so someone from my night shift recently tested positive. i haven’t been in contact with them since tuesday and i typically wear two masks to work and don’t remove my mask unless i take a sip of my drink which is usually on my 10. my whole store is closed down until further notice. does starbucks offer covid pay when stores are shutdown due to covid? I have been needing to pick up hours badly and now I can’t work for 10 days :((

There are two instances of covid relieve that you can take that pay up to 14 days of missed work (only your scheduled shifts). Your SM should have contacted you about whether or not you would like to use your pay or not. To my knowledge, since you aren’t the one that’s sick, the company doesn’t allow you to use sick time. So, if you have already used both of your covid catastrophe pay instances or you don’t want to this time (don’t have enough scheduled shifts to warrant using the pay) then you just won’t be paid for any of the scheduled shifts you miss due to the store closure. However, if you weren’t exposed to them in the past (I believe it’s 48 hours) you should be allowed to pick up shifts at other stores. Again though, your SM should have contacted you about this?

my sm contacted me and the rest of my partners on night crew around thirty minutes before the next set of shifts start today. i was curious because I also had to quarantine last year due to having close contact with someone and I was never paid for it so I wasn’t sure how it’s supposed to fully work out!!
