Its no cost if you are enrolled in our Medical plan, and $25 if you aren't. But its done right here in the office, so one misses a day to get the shot, and almost everyone is doing it. We have put hand sanitizer everywhere and the cleaning staff is paying more attention to door knobs, phones, keyboards and mice. We are having a company sponsored voluntary flu shot day.

However, there are some guidelines to using these days. You will be paid for these days but they must be taken consecutively and must return to work with a doctor's note stating that you were under their care for the flu. The Dr.'s note is to deter self diagnosis, consecutive is because the flu lasts for 3-10 days and we do not want "sick" employees coming to work. This will be the first time we've tryed this type of policy, hopefully no one has to use it. We just added 5 extra “flu” days to our policy. However, there are some guidelines to using these days.
