You're sitting at your desk and the person next to you sneezes. A Few moments later, another sneeze, followed by the blowing of their nose. You start hearing some coughs thrown into the mix. We've all been in that position when we see someone in the office while they're under the weather, wishing they had stayed home rather than getting everyone else sick. 

Since the COVID Pandemic, there has been a rise in awareness around sickness in the workplace. In today's episode, Chuck and John discuss handling sick employees and how to ensure you have good policies in place.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:
- Equal Pay Act 60th Anniversary: #LevelThePayingField eeoc.gov
- Halt a Hazard Challenge osha.gov
