Belmark Family,
The COVID19 Task Force has developed a phased approach to update policies and procedures put in place to maintain a safe environment in response to COVID19. Belmark will take a very conservative and slow approach, so please review the updates below carefully.
Belmark still maintains that if you are not feeling well – do NOT come to work.
Belmark will CONTINUE all policies related to creating a safe environment to prevent the spread of COVID19:

  • Personal hygiene – washing hands frequently
  • Facemask procedures
  • Social distancing – no congregating, 6ft distance at all times
  • Closed campus to external customers and visitors

As part of Phase 3, we wanted to communicate the below with as much advance notice as possible. Please review the below updates carefully:

Personal Travel and Quarantine Update
Effective June 10th, 2020, personal travel out of state will not require quarantine upon return. We ask you remain diligent while traveling and avoid areas where active case numbers are high or increasing. The interactive map tracking COVID19 cases by location can be found on the Intranet and here. We understand summer vacations and holiday plans may be in discussion in your personal lives and wanted to communicate this update as soon as possible. This is subject to change and will be closely monitored by the Taskforce.
Vacation rollovers will continue to be allowed. Please note that vacation requests may not always be approved due to staffing needs to keep the business operational. Work with your manager on requesting time off, and do not assume requests are approved.
It is imperative that all pre-cautionary measures be followed on-campus when returning from travel to ensure the safety of our workforce.
$3.00/hour Thank You Pay & Double Time Policy
Effective July 6th, 2020, we will discontinue our $3.00/hour Thank You pay policy.
We will continue to pay double time for hours worked over 40 until further notice. We encourage you to work overtime as we continue to have significant customer needs. Thank you for your dedication and continued efforts to keep fulfilling customer needs during the crisis and moving forward.
The COVID19 Taskforce continues to meet daily to discuss all aspects of COVID-related procedures. Please stay tuned for further updates.

 

Thank you for your continued commitment to the safety and wellbeing of yourself, your family and your colleagues!
