The COVID-19 pandemic has given RIT the opportunity to be flexible and creative in accommodating the needs of our employees as we navigate this situation. Please use this page as a single source for information about all of the changes we have made to our employee benefits and resources that may not be found on the RIT Ready COVID-19 website.
Important Update
Effective October 11, 2021, RIT has instituted a Mandatory Employee COVID-19 Vaccination policy.
COVID-19 Vaccination information. Employees are required to submit information and proof of COVID-19 vaccination in RIT Employee Self-Service in Oracle. The COVID-19 Vaccine User Guide provides step by step instructions on how to enter the information.
We have posted Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help you understand the new policy.
COVID-19 Booster Information Upload - Employees may now upload COVID-19 booster information more easily through a dedicated webpage.
The webpage is to be used for booster information only and requires that proof (for example, photo, word doc, or pdf) of the booster be added in the submission. The entry can be done through a web browser from a smart phone, or from a computer. The webpage requires you to log in using your RIT Computer Account. The entries will be routed to HR for review and approval.

COVID-19 Test submission
Employees can and should report their positive and negative COVID-19 test results via the Employee Self Serve.
New York Health and Essential Rights Act (NY HERO Act)
New York State has designated COVID-19 a highly contagious communicable disease that presents a serious risk of harm to the public health under New York State's HERO Act. This designation means that employers are required to implement workplace plans to protect employees against exposure and disease during an airborne infectious disease outbreak.

- Adjuncts are included in the report of the person listed as their supervisor in Oracle. Adjuncts may work in multiple areas or colleges, however there is only one supervisor listed per adjunct. Instructions on how to change or remove a supervisor can be found in the Supervisor Change User Guide. The supervisor listed on the Oracle record is responsible to ensure that the adjunct has uploaded their COVID-19 vaccination information.
