CHOP travel policy

[Maguire, Jean Ann]

CHOP has released a new travel policy for employees.  Just an FYI to anyone taking vacations, you need to report travel to the CHOP Covid hotline and quarantine accordingly.

II. Employee chose to initiate travel AFTER the CHOP travel restrictions or advisories were

communicated. Employee is now required to contact Coronavirus Hotline at 800-722-7112, and press

1 to report your travel, and receive guidance from trained staff. Employee is now required to selfisolate

for up to 14 calendar days from the date of return from travel. For location-critical staff, a

shorter duration of 7 days of quarantine may be available, subject to ongoing symptom monitoring

upon return to work.

A. If they can work from home with manager’s approval they will be considered in an

alternative work arrangement (AWA). No PPL will be required.

B. If they are in a role that does not lend itself to working remotely, the employee will use

available PPL, take this time unpaid or utilize the limited advance of PPL described below.

C. If at some point during the 14-day period, the employee becomes symptomatic, tests

positive and remains ill, they will transition to Family Medical Leave (FMLA) and short-term

disability coverage to the extent eligible under the applicable policies and/or plan documents.

Please refer to FMLA Overview for more information.
