COVID-19 Leave Update | September 7, 2021
Dear Campus Colleagues:
I am happy to share that the availability of Expanded COVID-19 Related Leave (ECRL) has been updated for our CFA represented employees. The leave is now available through December 31, 2021 and hours have been increased from 80 to 128. Consistent with the previous leave provisions, the eligible leave time is prorated for part-time employees. Additionally, exempt employees must use the hours in whole day increments and not as a reduction of courses. Please note - all Unit 3 employees are exempt.
Additionally, as a reminder, all our represented and non-represented employees including retired annuitants qualify for ECRL.
ECRL can be used for the following COVID-19 related reasons when an employee is unable to work or telework:
- Employee is subject to a quarantine or isolation period related to COVID-19 as defined by federal, state, or local orders or guidelines.
- Employee is advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine due to concerns related to COVID-19.
- Employee is attending an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
- Employee is experiencing symptoms related to a COVID-19 vaccine.
- Employee is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis.
- Employee is caring for a family member who is subject to a quarantine or isolation order or guideline or who has been advised to self-quarantine by a health care provider due to concerns related to COVID-19.
