Information on remote work
The University’s plan for a more traditional semester means that many employees have transitioned back to campus. All employees who directly support students or faculty should be fully vaccinated or have an approved exemption. Teams who have not yet returned to on-site work and are not directly involved in serving students or faculty have returned in a phased, hybrid return. Employees should review the updated COVID-19 policy. Note: All work from home arrangements should be pre-approved by an employee’s direct supervisor for Gables/marine campuses. Advance approval is required from a manager, department chair, and hospitals and ambulatory CEO, as appropriate, for UHealth employees.

Information Using Accrued Time Off and Leave of Absence
Staff who are diagnosed with COVID-19 are eligible to utilize all accrued time off – i.e., sick time, Extended Illness Bank (EIB), PTO, vacation time, and floating holidays. If an employee is not able to work due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, they will be placed on a leave of absence (i.e., FMLA/personal). Employees must contact Leave Management at umloa@miami.edu to initiate their absence and access their accrued time off.
Faculty, or staff who have symptoms of COVID-19, even if fully vaccinated, should consult their health care provider regarding testing or additional steps and should not come to campus. If an employee is instructed by UHealth Infection Control to remain at home, the employee will be eligible to use their accrued time off – i.e., sick time, Extended Illness Bank (EIB), PTO, vacation time, and floating holidays.
