Working at a host site
In addition to these on-campus compliance reminders, as a CU employee, you are required to follow the guidelines of any state, federal, contractor or business (host site) where an employee fulfills their job duties.Ìý
This includes:
-
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ requires that staff/employees performing services at any location outside the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ campus comply with all applicable guidelines or requirements of the host site. This may include showing vaccination status or negative test results to the host site.ÌýÌý
-
In some cases, unvaccinated staff/employees (including those with medical or moral/ethical exemptions) may be required to follow testing requirements as stipulated by host sites. Surveillance testing is not available through ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ, and employees should work with their host site to identify nearby testing resources.Ìý
-
If an employee fails to show the host site the proper information (negative tests or vaccination status) and the host site contacts ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ, Human Resources will conduct this as a performance issue of not fulfilling the required job duties.Ìý
Masks
Masks are required in public indoor spaces on the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ campus regardless of vaccination status.Ìý
