This message is intended for all UCR employees, including but not limited to faculty, staff (non-represented and represented), undergraduate student employees, graduate teaching assistants, and graduate research assistants.
The University has been ordered “closed” by the Health Officer of the County of Riverside, effective March 16, 2020 through April 3, 2020. “Closed” in this context means all offices, units or departments will not have staff on campus unless they are essential personnel, and many staff may be working remotely.
We are working with supervisors to define all essential personnel required to support critical campus functions. Some essential personnel will need to continue to work physically on site. We expect that supervisors will alert all staff regarding our interim plans for Monday. These plans may well be adjusted as we move further into this closure period.
All individuals who are not essential personnel will first be asked to work remotely, if feasible. If remote work is not feasible a paid leave option is available, as noted below.
All campus offices, units, or departments will be closed (i.e., no employees physically working on campus), unless they are designated as essential to support critical campus functions.
Please read this entire email carefully and consult with your supervisor, as there are specific situations we are working to provide guidance on for all employees. We are also working with the University System Office.
The health and well-being of our community remains our number one priority and we believe the most effective communications for individual situations with each employee is through our network of supervisors.
