Emergency Sick Days Reporting Guidelines

Dear Colleagues,

As a reminder, 14 Emergency Sick Days are available to full time and regular part time employees that can be used when an individual has been officially ordered to quarantine (either mandatory or precautionary) or a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 is received. Employees must provide an official order of quarantine from the State, other government entity, a medical provider or a testing site. Employees who are asymptomatic and are physically able to work under a quarantine order through remote access are not eligible to use emergency sick days. 

A new code is now available specifically to record this type of sick leave on your leave report or time sheet. Effective June 1st, you will see Emergency Sick as a separate line on your time sheet or leave report.

If you have any questions related to eligibility and/or to submit medical documentation, please contact Evelyn Fernandez (ef2625@tc.columbia.edu). 

Take Care,

Human Resources
