Dear Student Employee Supervisors,
The fall semester will bring a partial opening of the Storrs and regional campuses. As student supervisors we are encouraging you to follow the
Human Resource Guidelines as it pertains to telecommuting and reporting to work.
Please note, these guidelines are applicable to Student Labor and Federal Work Study students.
We have compiled a list of FAQs for your reference:
Yes, student employees can be hired for in-person operations, there is no additional approval required.
Yes, students can be hired to work remote. There is no notification or approval required by Human Resources or the Student Employment Office.
Yes, students should complete the
Environmental
Health & Safety Training and alert supervisors upon completion.
Student testing is being facilitated by
Student Health and Wellness (SHaW). Please refer to their
FAQ as it relates to testing requirements.
Testing is required for all students returning to campus for learning and/or employment. Please refer to
SHaW for additional information on student testing.
Student employees who have completed the required EH
& S training and who can perform their duties independently, may work on campus without a full-time staff member present.
No, if the duties cannot be performed remotely, students will not be paid. However, if the student employee has earned sick time during their employment, they may use it to compensate their time off. Please refer
to the
student employment sick time policy for more information regarding accruals.
No, students traveling to CT from states listed on the
Connecticut Travel Advisory are required to self-quarantine for 14 days. A negative COVID test result does not expedite this process.
No, at this time the University cannot hire international students to work remotely.
We have attached a sample offer letter, please feel free to use this template and edit to meet the needs of your department
