This bill amends existing law to prohibit employers from terminating or coercing employees who comply with isolation or quarantine orders related to disease control.

  • Section 16.1

    As a result of an individual's compliance with an order of isolation or quarantine or with any other control measure under this act, the individual's employer may not terminate, deprive, threaten or otherwise coerce the individual with respect to the employment, a seniority position or the benefits of the individual. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the individual's employer to compensate the individual for employment time lost because of any isolation or quarantine under this act.

    Employers cannot terminate or coerce employees due to compliance with disease control measures.

  • Section 16.1

    An employer violating the provisions of subsection (a) shall be subject to the penalty provisions under section 20. In addition to penalties under section 20 and notwithstanding any other provision of law, if an employer violates subsection (a), the individual may bring a civil action for recovery of wages and benefits lost as a result of the violation and for an order requiring the reinstatement of the individual. Damages recoverable may not exceed wages and benefits actually lost. If the individual prevails, the individual shall be allowed reasonable attorney fees fixed by the court.

    Individuals can sue employers for lost wages and benefits if terminated for complying with isolation or quarantine orders.
