Hi

I have been asked to self-isolate as my son may have COVID symptoms and I need to do this for 14 days or till son get a negative report from the test 
I have been told I need to either take it as a holiday or unpaid leave? 

Am not entailed for any help from anywhere whilst at home as I  do not have the symptoms 

any help would be great full 
as cash flow tight and bills still coming

If you take it as holiday, you will get paid? 

Obviously not sure what you do but is there anyway you can work from home?
