Tuesday update


Good morning and happy Tuesday.

In keeping with the revised federal social distancing guidelines, the libraries will remain closed through April 30th, if not longer.

During April, we will continue our current practice of using a combination of actual hours worked (telework or on site) and administrative leave to ensure employees are receiving regular pay and have no break in benefits coverage.

We recognize that everyone’s situation is different.  Although continuing to work is in the best financial interest of most employees, this may not be the case for everyone.  Please reach out to HR (HR@forsythpl.org) if you are struggling to work because you are caring for a child whose school or childcare is closed for reasons related to COVID-19.  As Nikki described in her 3/30/20 blog post, there are new benefits available under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act for employees who cannot work due to COVID-related illness or childcare issues.
