Resources on Successfully Working Remotely
Childcare Challenges
Expanded FMLA
Expanded FMLA (E-FMLA) provides partial pay when childcare needs result from the closure of a childcare facility or for the days on which the child’s school offers only virtual instruction. E-FMLA requires an application and compliance with federal rules and offers partial pay for E-FMLA time taken through Dec. 31, 2020. U-M HR has developed a set of resources for in-home care and tutoring.
Leave Options
Certain paid and unpaid time off options are available for this circumstance, including Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time for qualifying events. Vacation time, temporary reductions in effort, unpaid time off or personal leaves and modified work schedules are additional options available with supervisor approval. Please review the updated information on time off options on the COVID-19 page of the University HR website.
Medical Concerns about Onsite Work
Employees may request accommodation for serious medical conditions in consultation with Work Connections. Others may have underlying conditions of lesser severity or concerns about returning to the workplace for other reasons. Contact your supervisor and Work Connections for additional information.
