Recently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidance for managing COVID-19 related issues. Among the changes are the definitions for people who will need extra precaution due to age and underlying medical conditions. In response to those changes from the CDC, GHC is extending the deadline in which to request an alternative work arrangement.

In addition to accommodations provided in accordance with the ADA, Georgia Highlands College provides alternative work arrangements for employees in response to public health emergency guidance when it will enable the performance of the employee’s essential functions and when doing so does not create an undue hardship to the institution.

Employees who are requesting alternative work arrangements must complete and submit this request form along with designated supporting documentation to the Office of Human Resources at HR_COVID-19@highlands.edu by July 17, 2020.

GHC COVID-19 Alternative Work Arrangement 6.20 (002)
