I went on a cruise to the USVI and when I returned my employer banned me from returning to work. I was ordered to self quarantine at home for 14 days and could return thereafter. The employer states "during this 14 day period I "should" use paid time off (PTO). If I don't have any PTO this leave would be unpaid."
Can I choose to collect unemployment for this two week period rather than burn through my entire PTO for the year? Or could I take this two week period as unpaid and keep my PTO intact? I work in CT for a company that has over 500 employees.

dispute over use of business name
Before starting to use a business name (a doing business as) I researched the internet, checked with local chamber of commerce, checked with people in the same industry. No one I checked with heard of my business name. In April I receive a letter informing me that they were operating under this business name for the past ten years. Again, no search even on Google revealed use of this name, even Secretary of State's office. I, on the other hand, have proof that I have operated this business under this name by advertising in the Yellow pages, become a member of the local chamber of commerce, set up a website a year ago and have many local business connections. I write back the guy claiming that he owns my business name. i tell him no one has ever heard of him. I tell him to cease and desist using my business name. Two months go by. I receive a cease and desist letter from his attorney wanting me to stop using the business name. i reply I have superior naming rights having publicly established use of this business name while he had not. Yet he recently incorporated this business name. I am waiting to hear from his lawyer on not stopping use of the name and challanged the cease and desist I sent him months earlier. Who wins?
