The above question was asked to the It-Your-Vote community.

We provided additional information for the question which was:

"It has been claimed that a big food retailer has told its staff they will need to repay any time they take off due to self isolating for the Coronavirus. This has caused some staff to say they would return to work earlier because of fear of losing money, even though this could put other people at risk and goes against government guidelines on correct isolation time. Do you think this is fair, or alternatively, do businesses have a right to protect themselves as it is not their responsibility to fund people having time off for this.".

The available answers for this questions were:

1. Yes-staff should pay back wages from time taken off for isolation

2. No-isolation is by order of the government and wage should not be back to employer
