Office of Human Resources
This memo is a follow-up to the Human Resources (HR) memo dated January 18, 2022, which informed employees that effective February 28, 2022 they are expected to return to in-person work at 70% of their work schedule.
Please note that from January 28, 2022 through February 27, 2022, employees are expected to continue following 50% in-person capacity guidelines which have been in place since August 2021. This means 5 out of the 10 days in a two-week work cycle employee must be on campus.
HR urges managers/department heads to plan for the increase in their department’s personnel - effective February 28, 2022 - in accordance with the guidelines specified in the College’s reopening plan. Managers/department heads are also reminded that, as their department’s business needs dictate, they have the discretion to require their employees to report to work in-person at a higher rate than the University’s mandated minimum of 50 %, from now until February 27, 2022, or 70%, as of February 28, 2022.
The increase to in-person density levels will result in the reduction and (ultimately the elimination as we continue to move fully in-person) of the general reasonable accommodations for reasons other than a health condition as stated in the CUNY’s Reasonable Accommodations and Academic Adjustments policy.
For your convenience, please find HR’s memo dated January 3, 2022 regarding the campus access procedures.
REMOTE WORK AGREEMENT FORMS
As a reminder, full-time remote work options will no longer be permitted (without an approved reasonable accommodation), as employees will be expected to continue to move fully in-person in accordance with departmental business needs. Managers/department heads who will be approving a remote work agreement as part of an employee’s flexible work plan are asked to submit the updated agreements to HR at humanresources@ccny.cuny.edu . Please write in the subject line, Remote Work Agreement.
Should you have any questions, please email us at humanresources@ccny.cuny.edu . Thank you.
