PHASED STAFFING
County health officials determine which phase we are in . Depending how COVID-19 dashboard metrics change over time , they may move us forward or backwards through phases . In all staffing phases , if you have unique personal circumstances that make it difficult or ill-advised to come to work that are not listed in this document , you may request an exemption from HR and / or your supervisor . You may also be
eligible for expanded leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act .
Not everyone , not full-time , not 8 to 5 In all staffing phases , as more people return , supervisors should exercise the following options that make sense for their departments . Different departments that work in overlapping physical locations should coordinate with each other :
Partial Remote Work : Many people who do site-specific work on campus can still accomplish other portions of their job remotely . If possible , on-campus work should be less than full-time . Alternating Days : In order to limit the number of individuals and interactions among those on campus , departments should schedule partial staffing on alternating days . Staggered Schedules : The beginning and end of the workday typically bring many people together at common entry / exit points of buildings , and may create bottlenecks at the health check stations . Staggering reporting and departure times by at least 30 minutes will reduce traffic in common areas to meet social distancing guidelines .
PHASE ONE :
Campus is closed to the community . All courses will be moved to remote instruction . ( Some exceptions may apply ) All employees who are able to work from home will do so . Essential services will be by appointment only ( Counseling , tutoring , academic advising ) Other services such as financial aid , admissions , and registration will be available virtually . Students in housing will work directly with the Director of Housing and the Dean of Students to create a plan to either remain on campus or move home .
