Employees must contact Human Resources prior to the end of their leave to confirm their return to work date and fitness for duty, if applicable. Employees are not to return to work without prior approval from Human Resources. A request for an extension of a leave of absence may be considered and must be submitted to Human Resources in writing prior to the expiration of the original leave of absence; however, extensions cannot be guaranteed. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, failure to return to work after the expiration of leave may be considered a voluntary resignation. Tested Positive for COVID-19 Employees who have tested positive for the virus or have been exposed to the virus must follow CDC guidance regarding return from isolation or quarantine, as follows: Individuals with COVID-19 who have symptoms and were directed to care for themselves at home may discontinue isolation under the following conditions: — At least one day (24 hours) have passed since recovery, defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever -reducing medications and — Improvement in symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and, — At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared. Individuals with COVID-19 who have not had any symptoms may discontinue isolation when at least 10 days have passed since the date of their first positive COVID-19 diagnostic test and have had no subsequent illness provided they remain asymptomatic. Individuals exposed to COVID-19 who have not had any symptoms may discontinue quarantine after 14 days from the last close contact exposure to an individual with COVID-19. An individual may discontinue quarantine earlier (either at 10 days or 7 days with a negative test result) only if daily monitoring of symptoms has occurred and the individual has not experienced symptoms. We will continue to monitor new legislation as it passes and will communicate changes to employees as they are made. Your Human Resource manager remains available to provide resources, answer questions, and support you. Item 3C, Attach 1 COVID-19 Medical and Personal Leave of Absence Policy Updated December 29, 2020
