Newly available employee testing, leave options and plans for the Spring 2021 semester were among the topics discussed.

The university is encouraging all Pullman employees who regularly work on campus to get tested.

The university is cooperating with health authorities statewide to facilitate contact tracing to help identify members of the WSU community who were in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID‑19.

Through the duration of Phases 2 and 3 of the state’s Safe Start Washington plan, WSU employees who can telework without hampering essential operations should continue to do so.

The first payday of 2020 is coming up, but keep in mind it’s for work performed during the last half of December. The new pay rates that took effect Jan. 1 will be reflected in January’s second paycheck.

This training will feature Robin Blanchard, a national presenter on servant leadership, discussing what servant leadership it, how to practice it and how well it works.
