Temperature Checks Are Gone From Some Theme Parks & Elsewhere

Todd Wulffson provides legal guidance to CNN reporter Jason Hanna for an article on temperature checks for theme parks and elsewhere. "According to attorney Todd Wulffson at CDF Labor Law LLP in California, in-person temperature checks were 'all the rage last year' in the Golden State until employers realized:

• Workers must be paid for time in line, and 'if they don't pass the temperature screen, you have to pay them for 'show up' pay, which is at least two hours in California.
• 'Chewing on some Tylenol 20 minutes before work eliminates your fever.'
• 'If it's a hot day, and the employees are in the sun, the temperature check doesn't work as their forehead gets hot.'

California's COVID-19 regulations still require some type of employee screening. But now, the state generally allows employees to self-screen at home, using employer-provided questionnaires that ask about symptoms like fever -- though counties and cities can have stricter rules, Wulffson said."
