Indeed, the issue of pay to stay home would be a bit thorny and open to abuse, but it is only one of the choices...as the individual could still go to work, as long as they were masked and gloved up while doing jobs considered to be "at risk" for clients. Many employers for nursing homes are private contractors and might be a bit touchy about the bottom line of having to pay for leaves of absence, and also for the cost of providing replacements, often at overtime rates. Perhaps those employees that choose not to be immunized, could also choose to pay for loss of salary insurance?
A couple of issues that need to examined might be the relationship of "rights" to "responsibility". Also the concept that in some situations "your rights end where mine start".
