COVID-19 Update
As a reminder, colleagues are invited to attend next week’s Faculty and Staff COVID Update at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 20. Zoom webinar details will be emailed to faculty and staff soon. 
While you’re having conversations about redensifying campus and plans for summer, let us know what questions you have by submitting them to the HR Feedback Form. We will do our best to answer what we can directly or in upcoming newsletters and forums.
Frequently Asked Question: “Can the University ask me to disclose my vaccination status?” Yes, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission explains that employers may ask employees to disclose their vaccination status. Currently, Wake Forest is asking employees to voluntarily disclose this information via SneezSafe. To avoid gathering or eliciting private medical or disability information, managers and colleagues should not ask individuals for this information directly – specifically, asking why someone has not been vaccinated. Human Resources may be able to provide aggregate vaccination data to departments upon request.
