at scheduled times over three days, and temporary and permanent employees inspected their I-9 documents as they sat safely in their vehicles. During the three-day drive-through, temporary and permanent employees inspected more than 1,000 documents for more than 1,000 employees. The office successfully implemented this innovative idea as many employers across the country were struggling to manage I-9 compliance. Other universities contacted International Employment and asked to learn more about this initiative after hearing about its success.
Employee Emergency Loan Program In March 2021, UHR announced the initiation of the Emergency Loan Program. The program allows eligible employees to apply for a shortterm emergency loan and pay the loan back to the university via payroll deduction. The loan program came to fruition after Staff Senate members began to discuss how to assist employees who could not work from home because they were caring for loved ones due to the closure of a child care or elder care facility for reasons related to COVID-19. After the staff senators’ initial discussions, they solicited input from members of the Faculty Senate. That collaboration led to a proposal for an emergency employee relief program.
A Resounding Success Pandemic and Communicable Disease Guidelines and Resources Website One of UHR’s most successful COVID-19 initiatives was its pandemic website. From the time of its launch in the spring of 2020 to when it was sunset in the summer of 2021, the site garnered more than 80,000 pageviews. UHR has replaced the site with a new one called The Pack Is Back.
