In mid-March, many employees moved their work locations from various Stony Brook office settings to work remotely, in accordance with an Executive Order by the New York State Governor to foster social distancing. As we begin a phased-in approach to returning employees to their on-site workplace locations — gradually and incrementally, and with continued telework and staggered workweeks — we’ve set up this Coming Back Safe and Strong website to help guide you through the various changes as they occur. Whether you’re returning to the worksite or have been here with us all along, you’ll find critical current information, an evolving FAQ, the latest guidance on all return-to-workplace protocols, contact resources and more. Together, we will come back safe and strong.
