What if I or a family member am at high risk for the virus?
We encourage employees to discuss their situation with their supervisor so that they are aware, and they can support the employee as appropriate and as the situation develops. HR will ask supervisors to work with the individual employee to determine how they can be best protected. We will address this compassionately on a case-by-case basis, considering individual circumstances, current guidance from healthcare officials, and job responsibilities. Full-time employees must provide documentation from their physician and they qualify for up to 80 hours of paid sick leave up to $511 per day and $5,110 total.
Do I need to complete FMLA paperwork?
We are not requiring FMLA documentation specifically for short-term COVID-19 symptoms. However, if the absence involves hospitalization, more than a 2-week absence, or involves a school/childcare closure, FMLA paperwork should be requested. For other medical conditions unrelated to COVID-19 (such as surgery or pregnancy), our usual FMLA policy will remain in effect.
Can I receive or donate leave for a positive COVID-19 test?
Per our donating leave policy, the leave must meet the definition of "catastrophic" to qualify. The Office of the General Counsel will respond to requests on a case by case basis.
Can I continue to take paid administrative leave?
According to the Governor's Executive Order No. 1495 issued on June 10, 2020, paid administrative leave is no longer available to state employees, effective July 1, 2020. I don't think it's fair that some people get to work from home or are placed on administrative leave while others have to come to work. We are seeking to address individual needs consistently during this evolving situation. Some roles simply cannot be performed from home and as long as the District remains open those roles must continue to be performed. Employees are encouraged to speak to their supervisor or contact Human Resources for further guidance.

No. At this time we are operating on our usual payroll cycles.

Documentation of time for exempt employees who have been approved to work remotely or who are assigned remote (virtual) classes will be submitted to the respective work locations.
Are employees (exempt or non-exempt) required to complete timesheets?
Timesheets should be completed as usual with the appropriate leave code for a COVID-related absence.

Employees should contact their supervisors to arrange to submit timesheets. Supervisors will need to report the hours worked including any vacation or sick time.
Who should I contact for payroll questions or concerns?
