  • If my employer requires me to check my temperature at the start of every shift, can I refuse?

    Because of the pandemic, my employer is considering having all employees take their temperature at the start of every shift.

    I feel this is invasive, especially if I'm not exhibiting symptoms. Also, not all patients with Covid-19 have fevers, so its not exactly an accurate way to try and screen.

    I've researched and found that this practice is permissible, but I'm curious as to whether or not I can refuse? Could I be disciplined or fired for refusing (I live in NV, an at-will employment state, so technically I could be fired for anything...)? Also, can my employer require testing of customers?

  • Why would water stay boiling?

    So, I made brine for my turkey for Thanksgiving. I boiled a stainless steel stock pot full of oranges, lemons, and various seasonings (and lots of salt). Once the ingredients were boiled, I set the whole pot (with the lid on) outside in the snow to cool so I could put the turkey in. I let in sit in the snow ~20 minutes. When I went back out to check on it, I lifted the lid, and everything was still at a rolling boil. I'm curious as to why!

  • Can my employer...?

    I recently had some blood work done and my employer wants to verify I actually had it done. Can he call the facility and ask if I had anything done?
