As part of the agreement between SHARE and UMMS about the vaccination mandate, UMass agreed to two additional days of leave with pay for all SHARE members who were in compliance with the mandate by October 11, 2021.

Using the two days:

The two days off can be used for any purpose. Use your usual practice for requesting the days off. Requests will not be unreasonably denied.
The time will be tracked by the department; it is not on your paystub. It should be entered as “ALT” in the employee’s timesheet.
The time must be used no later than June 30, 2022, after that it is gone. If you leave before June 30, the time will not be paid out.

Eligibility:

Employees are eligible if they met all vaccination and documentation requirements by October 11, 2021, or if they have received an approved exemption.
Employees must have been employed by UMMS on the date of execution of the agreement (9/10/21) in order to receive the two (2) additional days of leave.
