Colgate University is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and New York State in managing concerns about exposure.
If quarantine is recommended by a physician or public health official, the employee should complete this form. If an employee in quarantine is well enough to work, and the nature of the work allows for remote work, the employee may work from home with supervisor approval. If the work does not allow for remote work and you are an hourly employee, the University will provide up to two weeks (10 working days) of sick time to use during the quarantine period.
Employee isolation/quarantine form
Should an employee need to stay home to care for a family member, the employee may use up to 10 days of sick time. When absences exceed one week, employees should contact Human Resources to discuss paid family leave and family medical leave eligibility. If the nature of the employee’s work allows for remote work, this option should be explored first with the employee’s supervisor and then with Human Resources.
