1. Purpose

As Victoria begins lifting COVID-19 restrictions, Edcursion Technology PTY LTD is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its employees within the workplace. To facilitate an organised and controlled return to the office, we have implemented this Return to Work Policy, which outlines safety measures to prevent or slow the spread of the disease within the workplace.

The Company is committed to:

1. Ensuring the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees;
2. Facilitating the safe and sustainable return to work from quarantine during COVID-19; and ensuring that no employee is disadvantaged or prejudiced by their participation in a return to work plan.

2. Early notification of COVID-19

Employees who have symptoms of COVID-19 must not come to the office and notify their supervisor or manager as soon as possible. Symptomatic employees must seek medical advice as soon as reasonably possible, and keep the company informed of their diagnosis.

Employees who have been exposed to COVID-19, or display symptoms of COVID-19, must immediately seek medical advice, and self-quarantine for 14 days. They are encouraged to contact the National Coronavirus hotline (1800 020 080) for assistance. They must also keep their supervisor or manager informed of their condition and any diagnosis that may follow. Employees who test negative following exposure may return to work following their 14-day quarantine period.

Employees who are infected with COVID-19 must immediately seek medical advice and inform their supervisor or manager. Employees may return to work after 5 days of recovery. Recovering employees must submit a medical clearance from the relevant clearing authority, be it a public health official or the employee’s treating clinician.
