Employees will no longer complete the Initial Assessment Survey. Employees should follow the guidance below in case of a positive test and/or exposure.

Employees out sick or requesting remote work accommodations for 3 or more consecutive days will need to work with the Benefits Office and may be required to submit a doctor’s note.
