The Donohoe Coronavirus Task Force has been working diligently with company leaders as we navigate this unusual situation to develop a company response plan to Covid-19. We now face the real possibility that Team Donohoe members may contract the coronavirus, may have a sick family member, may have a child home from school, etc. On a company level, Donohoe is enacting some temporary policies that provide workplace flexibility to help ensure the health and safety of our employees:
- Advanced Sick Leave. To ease any financial burden should you need to self-quarantine due to Covid-19, recover from Covid-19 yourself, take care of a sick family member, or stay home with children due to school closures, Donohoe will advance you up to 80 hours of sick leave. When you submit your time record, please coordinate with your supervisor to denote sick leave related to coronavirus as we will be tracking these hours with a separate pay code. This will take effect immediately and is available for the next 90 days.
- Work From Home. Donohoe has formalized a work from home policy and worked with division heads to identify employees who are telework-eligible, as practical based on job functions. The work from home policy will be used as an option to promote continuity of operations during this emergency. Employees who are telework-eligible will be notified with instruction on how to prepare their home work environment beginning this weekend.
- No extracurricular activities. Beginning Monday, March 16th, Donohoe will suspend any company extracurricular activities and social gatherings until further notice.
We thank you once again for your flexibility, patience and constructive suggestions as we navigate this challenging, unprecedented situation
together
. We will continue to provide updates as things change.
