It has to be filed with the Court and acted upon to take effect. If you have second thoughts you really should have counsel represent you!!
Employer policy states that if it was mandated to pay sick time accrued by the state it will. Since moving with the accrued time to a state that doesn't require it to be paid my employer is doing what it can to not pay it out.

I don’t know that you can. If the court order was entered after the start of the pandemic, you most likely need to allow visits. If it was entered previous to the pandemic, I would suggest requesting masks (as well as your other requests) be worn in writing. If they refuse, I would document the... Read more »
