Office of Human Resources
This memo is a follow-up to the Human Resources (HR) memo dated June 9, 2021, which informed employees that effective August 2021, they were expected to return to in-person work.
At this time, CUNY has provided us with an updated mandate as it relates to in-person work scheduled to take place February 28, 2022. Specifically, CUNY announced a target of 70% in person learning. As a consequence, in order to provide essential in-person services to our students and the college community, the in-person employee density level will be increased from 50% to at least 70% beginning on February 28, 2022.
This means that employees will be expected to report to work on campus 70% of their work time. For example, employees can be required to work in-person 7 out of the 10 days in a two-week work cycle or in-person 4 days and 1 day remote in one week and in the following week 3 days in-person and 2 days remote.
HR urges managers/department heads to plan for the increase in-person services in accordance with the guidelines specified in the College鈥檚 reopening plan. Managers/department heads are also reminded that, as their department鈥檚 business needs dictate, they have the discretion to require their employees to report to work in person at a higher rate than the minimum of 70% set by the University.
Please note that since the employee鈥檚 in-person density level is increasing, this will result in the reduction and (ultimately the elimination) of the general reasonable accommodations for reasons other than a health condition as stated in the .
For your convenience, please find the COO鈥檚 communication to the campus regarding the campus access procedure.
