Re: Update on Guidelines for the COVID 19 Vaccine
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed new legislation today granting public employees up to four (4) hours of paid time off per injection to receive the COVID 19 vaccine. This update is effective immediately and supersedes the previous two (2) hours of free time for each injection that was slated to go into effect on April 1, 2021.
In order to receive a maximum of eight (8) free hours (4 hours permitted for each injection) and not have the time taken out of your accrued annual or sick leave balances, you must email documents of both appointments to Jackie Thomas, Time and Leave/Benefits Coordinator and myself so that your time to take the COVID 19 vaccine is recorded and you are not charged. Ms. Thomas’ email is Jthomas@hunter.cuny.edu.
If you should have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
