Employee Update - Staffing and Recovery
 
Touro will return to business as usual on Monday, September 8th. If you have any additional questions or concerns that are not addressed below, please speak with your manager/director.
 
How do employees know when to report for work?
Each employee must contact his/her manager/director to coordinate department staffing. Each department has different needs and the manager/director will decide how to staff for anticipated needs. DO NOT simply show up for work. You MUST call your manager/director to decide when you are needed.
 
When can essential employees leave?
Employees may leave as early as 7 a.m. on Wednesday, September 3rd.

Every department has unique staffing needs to resume services. Each manager/director will decide when and how to release staff and replace those staff and prepare to resume full services on Monday. Essential employees must talk to their manager or director prior to leaving to plan appropriate staffing and coverage.
