A study done at a long-term care facility in St. Louis found that almost 90% of staff members who had an acute respiratory illness went to work when they were sick.

And while the temperatures are getting warmer hinting at Spring, we’re not out of the woods yet when it comes to flu season. In some cases, flu season can last as late as May. It’s up to you to ensure that your facility has a solid employee leave policy in place and that your working culture supports staff using that policy.
