Can we keep an employee out of our office for a time due to Ebola concerns?

11/04/2014

Q: “We have an employee who is traveling to Nigeria for a family gathering. Even though Nigeria is Ebola-free at this time, we are considering requesting that the employee stay out of the office for 21 days upon return to eliminate panic among our employees. Due to the nature of her job, she cannot work remotely from home. Do we legally need to pay her for this time?” – Carol, Florida
