Human Resources

The safety of all faculty and staff is our first concern; however, as long as the College remains open, staff are expected to report to work. Remote work will only be approved through the Human Resources Department when it applies to Covid-19 processes causing employees to be quarantined.

If an employee is too sick to work on campus, they are too sick to work remotely and should use the time for self-care. Pay for this time would be consistent with our sick leave or unpaid leave policies.

Contact Human Resources to discuss the Covid-19 process while waiting for your test results.

If you cannot come to work due to self-quarantine based on CDC guidance or the guidance of a doctor, contact Human Resources. Human Resources will work with your Supervisor and evaluate if your position is able to perform work remotely. If so, current telecommute procedures will be followed. If remote work is not possible based on your role, Human Resources will review paid leave options with the employee.

Employees are only entitled to refuse to work if they believe they are in imminent danger. The threat must be immediate or imminent, which means that an employee must believe that death or serious physical harm could occur within a short time. Most work conditions in the United States, however, do not meet the elements required for an employee to refuse to work We will make accommodations for employees whose underlying health conditions compromise his/her immune system. Please contact Human Resources to discuss your individual situation.
