COVID-19 Flexible Work Arrangements for Employees
The University of Illinois System COVID-19 Flexible Work Arrangements for Employees has been updated.
Dear colleagues,
I am excited to announce that the new Training and Development Resources website is now live.
As the Covid-19 vaccines were rolled out, UIS created a policy stating:
“All UIS faculty, staff, volunteers and long-term guests who work on the UIS campus or in off-campus UIS facilities must be fully vaccinated. New hires must be fully vaccinated and show proof thereof, or proof that they have begun the vaccination process, prior to their first scheduled day of work and upload their vaccine record to the Medicat patient portal once their employment begins.”
Annual Evaluation season has officially wrapped up for 2022! We would like to thank everyone for participating and for your patience as we rolled out the new electronic evaluation form. This system was an overall success, but we would like to hear from you to see how we can do better. Please take a few moments to fill out this survey to tell us how you think the electronic form can be improved for next year.
