Consistent with SYS 600-01: Interim: Spring Semester 2021 COVID-19 Testing Requirements, beginning Tuesday, January 19th, any individual who holds a faculty, academic staff, university staff, limited appointment, student employment, employee-in-training, temporary, or project appointment who comes into any UW-Green Bay building once a week or more to conduct business must obtain a negative COVID-19 test through an antigen test, or through a subsequent confirmation test administered not more than 14 days prior to accessing the campus building.
Any employee who tests positive for COVID-19 should follow current University protocols. Employees who have previously tested positive will not be required to engage in continued testing every two weeks for 90 days after the administration of the positive test.
All employees may obtain testing through UW Green Bay Testing Centers or have the testing administered at a medical service provider of their choice or an alternative testing location. As a reminder, individuals who have any COVID-19 symptoms should not use the on-campus testing option and should contact their medical service provider for immediate confirmation testing.
The Employee Workplace Expectations document has been updated for the spring semester to include these testing requirements. Please see the Phoenix Forward Questions & Answers page for recently added FAQs related to testing.

Daily Self-Assessment:
Employees will be required to confirm acknowledgement of a completed test within the past 14 days along with the date of the most recent test through the Daily Self-Assessment. All employees (including student employees) who are scheduled to be working on campus are required to complete this Daily Self-Assessment prior to arriving to campus each day.
-
- The time performing the self-assessment is considered de minimus (insignificant) time and therefore is unpaid in accordance with FLSA.
- Should the employee not have access to technology needed to complete the assessment, supervisors may allow reporting via telephone. If an employee needs to utilize a telephone reporting process, they should communicate with their supervisor for details on that process.
- If an employee answered “yes” to any of the assessment questions pertaining to symptoms and engagement in activities, employees should mark the checkbox, complete the remainder of the form, and communicate with their supervisor via email or phone.
- Employees are not required to disclose to their supervisor the reason they are unable to be on campus.
- For more information, please see the Daily Self-Assessment website.
- Please see the updated How To: Employee Screening Questionnaire document for instructions on completing the daily self-assessment.
