We need your help!
We have been battling COVID-19 for almost 18 months and we need your helping hands. To support our frontline workers, we are standing up the Helping Hands program once again.
Would you be willing to volunteer time based on your availability?
You will be compensated for your time.
- If you redeploy from your normal job, there will be no changes in pay. You will receive your regular pay.
- Exempt staff: If you pick up additional hours outside your normal FTE, you will need to clock in and will get paid straight time for the extra hours in addition to your regular pay.
- Non-exempt staff: If you pick up additional hours outside your regular responsibilities, you will need to clock in and will get paid your regular rate of pay (plus any applicable differential/overtime).
