You are all packed up and ready for your “masked” Disney World vacation. You paid thousands of dollars in mostly nonrefundable travel, hotel and park access expenses long before anyone had ever heard of “social distancing.” You even purchased a cute pair of mouse ears to wear around the park. But the week before you leave, your employer emails all employees a new travel restriction policy that provides any employee traveling to Florida, among other COVID-19 “hot spots,” must quarantine for 14 days before returning to work. And no, the employer will not be compensating you for time spent in quarantine.

Or perhaps, instead, you have been happily teleworking for months now in your home state in Pennsylvania, but pandemic exhaustion is a real thing for your company, and now you’re expected to resume monthly travel to and from corporate headquarters in Texas. You are very concerned about risking your own health resuming regular air travel, but your employer is not responding to your concerns.
