Updated forms for employees and volunteers, COVID; 9/8/2021 versions

Posted: September 9, 2021

All:  I hope your semester is off to a great start!  We have had some questions about what to do if you are exposed to someone who has COVID-19 or if you test positive for COVID-19.

What to do if you test POSITIVE for COVID-19 or NEED TO QUARANTINE due to exposure:

• As in the past, do NOT come to work if you are sick
• For employees, your first step is to review the Employee COVID Reporting and Information Guide (attached) which explains the reporting protocol and provides LINKS to COVID-19 information.  There is a corresponding Guide for Volunteers.
• To determine potential isolation and quarantine periods (if needed), go to the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH)  https://health.wyo.gov/publichealth/infectious-disease-epidemiology-unit/disease/novel-coronavirus/
• Once you determine your personal situation based upon your review of the Guide and WDH directives, contact Human Resources (HR)/Payroll - either Jill Anderson, or Tracy Gasaway will return a call or email you as soon we are able.

COVID-19 VAULT Tests Available:

If you would like a COVID-19 Vault test, the kits are available in the mailroom.  You may want to pick one up to have on hand.   If you are sick, please call HR/Payroll and we can see how to get one to you (without your coming to work). 

NEW!  Contact Tracing Form COVID – Employees and Volunteers

To expedite HR/Payroll contact tracing for potentially exposed employees, students, and volunteers, we are rolling out a new form for contact tracing where COVID-19 positive employees and volunteers can immediately provide HR/Payroll with the names of employees, volunteers, and students with whom they had close contact at work.

FORMS and LINKS:

The Contact Tracing form, the Employee COVID Reporting and Information Guide (rev:  9/8/2021) and corresponding Volunteer COVID Reporting and Information (rev: 9/8/2021) are all attached and have been updated to reflect the addition of this form.

We will be publishing these forms to the NWC COVID-19 site soon.  Right now, the attachments are in this email, and the links are available on the MyNWC Portal under Departments, Human Resources, Miscellaneous:

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Regards,

Jill
