As the Coronavirus spreads in the Portland/Oregon area, you may have the following question, which is addressed in the FAQ’s question no. 1:
FAQ 1: A supervisor or employee has concerns that the employee may have been exposed to the Coronavirus. What should be done?
A: Please contact human resources as soon as possible at hr@up.edu or (503) 943-8484. If the situation is particularly urgent, please call or text (310) 779-2406.
If there are any concerns about Coronavirus exposure, it is best if the employee stays at home or goes home until human resources can help UP leadership make a determination about appropriate next steps. An employee’s pay and sick/vacation time accruals will not be affected if an employee is asked to stay at home while a determination is being made about Coronavirus exposure or if the employee is asked to continue staying at home because of potential or actual Coronavirus exposure.
