Leave Incentive for COVID-19 Vaccine

FOSCEP received a side letter on November 5th and signed off on the additional five days of verification leave in addition to the one day previously available regardless of the date of vaccination.  Please keep in mind that the verification leave is available December 20, 2021 through March 31, 2022.  Questions can be directed to one of the Officers or Directors for your agency.  A listing can be found under About Us, Contact Us.

Commonwealth employees can now verify their COVID-19 vaccination status to receive one day of paid time off (up to 7.5/8 hours).

This incentive is available to employees who have received a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine or both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) vaccine, regardless of the date of vaccination.

How to Request Leave

All leave requests are subject to prior supervisory approval based on operational needs. The Administrative (ADMIN) leave incentive for vaccination must be requested from October 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

  1. Provide your supervisory chain of command with a copy of the confirmation email you received when you submitted your vaccination verification. The confirmation email is required for approval of your leave request. Your supervisory chain of command will forward your confirmation to timekeeping staff, as appropriate. 
     
  2. Submit a leave request via Employee Self-Service (ESS) and select “ADMN-Pd-Administrative” from the drop-down menu. Non-ESS users should request the leave through their normal leave request process.
     
  3. Wait for approval of your leave request. 

*Employees who submit vaccination verification statements will be selected at random and asked to show proof of their vaccination status. Employees who falsify a verification statement may be subject to disciplinary action and may be referred to the appropriate legal authorities.
