Our commitment to doing the right thing and putting people first will continue to guide every decision we make. How we are handling employee travel: All non-essential business associated travel has been restricted. All non-essential intra-facility traffic has been restricted. We ask all employees to inform us of any upcoming travel plans. Any employee returning from vacation or travel is screened in accordance with CDC guidelines. Temperature Taking: Dedicated 24/7 temperature monitoring using multiple technologies in a temperature-controlled, optimal environment in order to combat cool outdoor temperatures for employees arriving at the facility. This applies to employees and contractors. Tracking: Daily tracking by location, number of employees calling in sick, days out, symptoms, quarantined employees, and employees on vacation. All call-ins are reviewed on a daily basis by facility to assess trends.
