➤ What should I do if my employer is not following health and safety guidelines?
If you believe your job site is unsafe, or that proper precautions are not in place to keep you safe, we need to know. Representatives will work with you and the contractor to make sure that the job site is following proper safety guidelines.

Yes.

➤ If my kids are out of school and I have to take care of them, do I qualify for unemployment?

Yes.
