K. Staffing and Human Resources

1. Staffing • We will continue to staff the school in accordance with our goals to provide optimal educational and administrative services to the Brearley community.

• Where adjustments in staffing levels or job responsibility are required, we will provide the necessary training, guidance and feedback to ensure that our staff can perform their job responsibilities professionally and responsibly.

2. Employees Testing Positive for COVID-19 • When an employee tests positive for COVID-19, if they are at school, they will notify the School, leave campus immediately and seek the advice of their health care provider.

• See pages 8-9 for school quarantine guidelines.

• Anyone who feels that they were in close proximity to the quarantined employee should let the Health Office know, and it will be determined if they are considered a close contact. As noted, close contact for adults is considered to be less than 6’ for greater than 15 minutes, masked or unmasked.

• Employees who are subjected to mandatory isolation or quarantine due to COVID-19 can apply for job protected paid leave under NYS Emergency COVID-19 Paid Sick Leave.

• Brearley will provide sufficient paid leave for employees to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination.

Sufficient paid leave is four hours per vaccine injection. Advance notice should be provided should the need for this leave arise so that the leave does not unduly disrupt operations.
