COVID-19 Employee Assistance

Returning to onsite work

Exemptions

To all employees including those that may have submitted a voluntary self-disclosure last year indicating vulnerability or living with or caring for a vulnerable individual:

With the significant increase in vaccinations and the substantial decrease in transmissions, the CDC has changed the guidelines for certain vulnerabilities.  The most current information on county vaccination and transmission rates can be found here, and the latest CDC guidance is here and here.

Under the latest guidance, not all those who identified as vulnerable last year will be considered vulnerable now, which is an encouraging development in the fight against the Coronavirus.  Vaccination remains the best defense in most cases; while the College does not require employees to be vaccinated, it is strongly encouraged.  You can find resources on getting a vaccine here, and the Germantown campus is a vaccination site that accepts walk-ins.

If you wish to request an exception to a return to onsite work for medical reasons please have the attached documentation completed and returned to Rowena.dsouza@montgomerycollege.edu for review and approval.  She will assess your specific situation and provide guidance on next steps (whether that’s a return to onsite work with or without modification, or if you qualify for a temporary exception).

If your concern is for a family member with a serious medical condition please also direct your question to Rowena.dsouza@montgomerycollege.edu

If your concern is not related to a medical or religious reason please direct your request to HRSTM@montgomerycollege.edu.
