In-building work
Only designated TS staff will have regular shifts in the building.
Those able to work from home are asked to continue, per the university and Dean Salem.
Designations will shift as circumstances dictate. Kay and TS Managers will coordinate.
Building access
This applies to those working shifts and those making brief visits for drop-offs or pick-ups.
Complete the Health Screening Form shortly before you enter the building.
Make an entry on the shared TS calendar so others are aware of your planned shift or visit.
Wear a face covering at all times and remain 6 feet from others.
