Social distancing is a way to reduce exposure, slow the spread, and minimize transmission of contagious diseases. Use video and teleconferencing tools like WebEx instead of holding in-person meetings when possible. Try to maintain at least a 6-foot distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Avoid shaking hands and close physical contact with anyone displaying symptoms.

Each supervisor should be aware of our ‘Non-discrimination and anti-harassment’ policy – 300.28. It clearly describes classes of people that are protected from discrimination and harassment behaviors. This includes our employees and any individual participating in a College program or activity. The protected classes are sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information (GINA), military status, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression. Multiple laws1 and enforcement agencies apply to these types of discrimination. For example, employers are prohibited from asking employees to disclose if they have compromised immune systems or a chronic health condition that would make them more susceptible to COVID-19.
If a supervisor has a question they are to consult the Office of Human Resources (OHR) for advice and counsel. OHR will often rely on the assistance of the Office of the Ohio Attorney General.
