Paid time off today, and allow them to work from home for a couple days.

Not feasible to work from home. I wish, but not possible.

My experience: boss said was granting "leave w/out pay" if we wanted to go home, or we could use our vacation hours if

Every job I've had as an adult would have had a contingency plan
