• Ensure that sick leave policies are flexible and be sure that employees are aware of these policies.
• Do not require a healthcare provider's note for employees who are sick. Healthcare providers may be extremely busy and unable to provide timely documentation.

• Be aware that more employees may need to stay at home to care for sick children or other sick family members than is usual.
• Prepare for employee absences resulting from personal illness, caring for ill family members, and school or childcare closures.
