Operative words
It shall be unlawful for any public or private employer to discharge an employee solely because the employee or an immediate family member of the employee is under an order of isolation or quarantine. The violation of this section is punishable as a violation of K.S.A. 65-129, and amendments thereto.
Penalty
What it required
Every Kansas employer had to keep on the payroll, or hold the position of, every employee ordered into isolation or quarantine (or whose immediate family member was), so that every KDHE or county quarantine order on a worker was a direct legal command to the employer about its own workforce.
Retrieval notePairs with the KDHE travel and exposure quarantine mandate (KS-053 to KS-057), which placed close contacts and returning travelers under quarantine through every quarter to November 2021.
