The University has revised Policy 324: Reassignment/Absence due to Contagion to extend coverage for the COVID-19 pandemic. The revised policy now applies to all faculty and staff across the University and grants full pay for up to 14 days to employees who have been placed under voluntary or involuntary quarantine by the Department of Public Health. This policy aligns with Center for Disease Control guidelines.
If an employee with COVID-19 remains out longer than 14 days, the employee will be covered under Sick Leave and Short-Term Disability and Family Medical Leave or Worker’s Compensation if the employee was exposed while working. Pay would be in line with those guidelines.
