Handbooks & Policies
Human Resources
The College has developed a comprehensive plan to address safety in the workplace specific to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prepared with a purpose, our plan is focused on safety protocols to protect our employees because we are a Community-First campus.
Safe at Work, also referred to as The Saint Joseph’s College 2020 COVID-19 Infectious Disease Preparedness & Response Plan (the Plan), is designed to serve as a resource. It provides our faculty, staff, and student employees with the tools needed to become informed in safety measures, new work methods, and how to protect each other from infectious disease.
- SJC Safe at Work Plan – a new edition coming
- SJC Vaccination Plan – September 2022
The following policies have been updated as circumstances and CDC guidance has changed over the life of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
