Faculty and Staff Resources for a Successful Fall Semester
Whether you’ve been working on or off campus, this past year has been anything but normal for us. The COVID-19 pandemic limited our ability to interact with one another and transformed our work-life in ways we could not have imagined before. But through it all, we have persevered, endured and succeeded. The Pack is Back and preparations are underway for a fall semester we are much more accustomed to experiencing. University Human Resources is providing these resources to help employees have a safe and successful fall semester at NC State.
The University of North Carolina System has established new guidelines for leave provisions related to COVID-19. The guidelines took effect July 1, 2021, and will remain in effect through the end of the public health emergency, unless otherwise revised or rescinded.
*Please note an update to the current provisions in section 4, COVID-19 Paid Administrative Leave: Employees who have symptoms of a communicable disease and are required to stay home, or who are ill with the communicable disease, must not return to work until they are fully recovered in accordance with current CDC or NC Department of Public Health guidelines. If an employee tests positive for COVID-19 the isolation period begins. Paid Administrative Leave does not cover the period of isolation for a COVID-19 confirmed illness. Employees should also refer to their institution’s return to work guidance and resources before turning to onsite work.
