Employees want to travel to Coronavirus affected area on holiday - can I ask them not to?

Hello

A manager has mentioned that two of their team members have a booked holiday to one of the badly hit areas of coronavirus. We are leisure facility that cater for all ages and abilities. The two employees jobs are such that they can not work remotely. 

some members of staff are aware of the employees holiday and are already apprehensive that they may come back with the virus. Any advice on how to handle this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

  • No you can’t tell them not to.

    You can point out risks and refer to any government guidance.

    On their return they may or may not need to go into isolation depending on where they are going and what the advice is at the time. This may impact their decision depending on your levels of sick pay.
