I started a new job last Thursday. Small family business with around 8 staff including the owner directors.
During the day my adult son who I live with developed covid symptoms, took an LFT and had a positive result. I am double vaccinated so I had no duty to tell my employers but I did anyway as I thought that was the "right" thing to do. I was immediately sent home and asked not to come in the next day.
I have pre booked holiday this week so I was never supposed to be in this week anyway.
On Friday I developed symptoms and a PCR has shown both my son and I are positive.
I have kept my employer informed.
I hadn't received a contract of employment.
Pay day is today and no funds have hit my account for the day I worked.
Now I understand that they don't want to admit I am employee yet so they don't have to pay me ssp should the virus cause me long term effects. On the other hand it feels a bit nasty that from the get go, they are trying to not look after me.
Opinions please?
