My boss has got the arse because I wouldn't lie to get a free NHS Covid test and even specified it needed to be a PCR test. Two workshop fitters tested positive last week but I'm out driving all day so not really in contact with anyone. Anyway I WhatsApped my boss to say as I didn't have symptoms I couldn't get a test. He said others staff had said they had been asked to get a test, implying Test and Trace but not saying their employer had "asked" them. I said employers could not ask employees to get an NHS test and sent a GOV screenshot confirming it. He then accidentally sent me a msg, not intended for me saying I was being a prick and not wanting a test and that he'd get rid of me. My reply was that if I had a symptom I'd get a test but I don't.
He's now told me to isolate for 10 days and await a call from HR.
Even though the test is free I would be committing fraud by requesting one knowing that I don't fit the criteria for it.
I've taken screenshots of WhatsApp in case he deletes his comments.
Which of us is being the prick?
