Remote Work Ground Rules

As part of our work monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and our efforts to minimize any impact in our workplace, we are providing additional guidance as it relates to those employees that may perform remote work. Please take a look at these recommendations, follow them closely and let any member of the crisis committee know if you have any questions or additional suggestions. Your supervisor or other members of management may have additional guidance and direction. Nevertheless, these are effective immediately and until further notice.
