What's the odds the employee has been told to change their story or else.
odds are both story lines are correct.
first, she was told to not call in sick (presumably when she started), and thus she did not call in sick. Retail. It's a hard working environment with many casual and hourly workers.
Seems the employers signed a statutory declaration saying they didn't ask her to work, and she was unhappy about the resulting translation of her interview.
The legal statement does appear to skirt around the fact that the young woman went for a Covid test presenting with symptoms, and as such, would as a matter of routine, have been told to self isolate until the test results were returned (as I was when I went to get tested with cold-like symptoms).
So either that requirement wasn’t communicated by the health officials (oversight or language difficulties or whatever) or the student ignored the instruction and went to work or she told her employer and they ignored it and told her to report for work wearing a mask.
so, officials have to do the testing, the language interpretation, AND the thinking for these people, who seem only able to converse with lawyers and media.

Goodness me… 2.7 million votes for Donald Trump were electronically deleted.
According to Donald Trump that is.
If one was to do a count of all the Biden winning margins in swing states, would it come to around 2.7 million? 😉
