Is anyone here familiar with the laws regarding elderly workers taking a leave of absence?
This is in NJ. My mother is 75 and works for a public school district. She's obviously at risk, and preliminary research shows a few options. The main issue seems to be if she can be given the direction to quarantine by a "health care provider" which is basically her doctor.
I don't think she would need longer than a month, because by then, the school will either have closed down again, or the precautions put forward are working.

Also if the person is absent because of a medical reason they can go on FMLA and have their job preserved, if a few requirements were met.
For the time of covid, FMLA hasn’t been battletested for non infection quarantine. IE preventative quarantine.
Honestly there isn’t clear policy on this and it may verge into ask a lawyer territory.
After some research, according to the DOL it is not protected.

I did speak with the admin, and she would be covered under FMLA with a doctor's note. They said she would retain benefits, but no pay. My. Rother and I are trying to figure it out.
