Are workplace accommodations available for employees at higher-risk?

The Office of Human Resources will work with employees who are most vulnerable to complications from COVID-19, and their supervisors, to attempt to find workplace modifications that address the employee’s concerns. Through a COVID-19 accommodation request, which is a secure intake process, individuals will be asked to:

  • Identify and attest that their health or other factor place them at greater risk of serious illness if they contract the COVID-19 virus.
  • Provide details about their work environment concerns.
  • Indicate what needs and resources they feel are necessary to perform their job safely.
