Prior today, it appeared as though Tesla would need to delay production at its factory in Fremont. Presently, TechCrunch reports, the organization says representatives in fundamental roles – including production, service, deliveries, testing, and supporting groups – should come to work, despite a shelter in place order from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.

This back-and-forth has been continuing for a considerable length of time. At a certain point, a county representative said Tesla was an essential business, and thusly absolved from the haven set up request. At the beginning of today, the sheriff’s office changed its tune and said Tesla was superfluous, yet that it could keep up the least essential operations, such as giving security and processing payroll and employee benefits.

In a letter, acquired by TechCrunch, Tesla stated, “We still do not have the final word from the city, county, state and federal government on the status of our operations. We have had conflicting guidance from different levels of government.”

Thus, Tesla is asking representatives it considers fundamental to come to work. Different workers might be temporarily migrated to help a basic function or should be accessible as needs are. In the letter, Tesla says representatives who are not feeling admirably should remain comfortable and use took paid time off (PTO). They can acquire as long as 80 hours if they exhaust their PTO balance.

Not long ago, Elon Musk advised representatives not to come to work on the off chance that they feel “the slightest bit ill or even uncomfortable.” He added that it’s “totally ok if you want to stay home for any reason.” Though, employees will have to use their own PTO if they do stay home, which could be a deterrent.
