Vulnerable Members. A member who has a health condition they believe would endanger them if they were to work their normal rotation, or a member who is unable to work due to being part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at-risk group (older than 60 or with an underlying medical condition), or has a family member in their residence in those categories may request an accommodation to their direct supervisor which may include assignment to telemedicine. If a workplace accommodation cannot be granted, the member shall be granted a leave of absence and have access to accrued time off benefits. If a member’s paid time off accruals exhaust during the leave, SHS will work on a case by case basis with the member to ensure appropriate continuation of medical benefits until the member is able to return to work.
