Absolutely, the last thing any staff member wants is to be the person who brought COVID-19 into their home. No matter how innocent it is, that's not what they want to see happen.
Specifically about the question of permanent full-time positions, the industry right now is in need of workers, and my experience has been that staff who are looking to work don't have any shortage of work available to them. Historically, we generally operate under collective agreements in the majority of these homes, and the number of full-time and part-time positions is normally written right into those collective agreements, some of which are 30 or 40 years old.
Certainly in our homes we offer a lot of full-time positions, but not all staff want that. A lot of staff are looking for a casual or part-time position because they have their own situations and they want that flexibility.
