COVID-19 Marmot Re-opening Phase
Phase 2
(June 1, 2020)
Office Operations:
- A maximum of 6 employees will be allowed in the office at a time.
- Safe distancing must be observed in work and common areas. Employees within 6 feet of each other should wear a mask. For employees wishing to work predominantly in the office, it is imperative that they arrange their desk location with more than 6 feet separation from each other or from walkthrough areas (such as the kitchen or the path to the restrooms).
- Employees who can effectively remain working from home are encouraged to continue.
- Marmot employees will follow local municipal orders when stricter.
On-site work:
- Allowed when necessary to complete projects that are important to the libraries’ operations and service changes related to COVID-19. Examples of important operations for which on-site work is allowable are:
- Data room critical failures
- Workstations additions required to allow staff to work effectively
- Workstation replacements that fall within safety guidelines
- Equipment rearranging/modification that enables libraries to expand patron services while complying with COVID-19 safety guidelines.
- Time spent on-site will be minimized, and will be limited to only what cannot be done remotely.
- Non-critical projects will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if it can be done safely. Safety considerations include distance, status of the library being open to the public. On-site work may be performed after hours to maintain social distancing guidelines.
- Marmot staff traveling to libraries will coordinate with library staff to plan for safe distancing while on-site.
- Remote workers will coordinate to complete computer replacement tasks after the equipment is physically in place. The number of library staff present should be minimized.
- Communication methods with Marmot staff remain in place. The best ways to contact Marmot are still:
- the Help Desk number (970-242-3331),
- the Help Desk email (marmothelp@marmot.org), or
- a ticket at https://helpdesk.marmot.org:8443/.
