Disaster relief information for employees affected by recent hurricanes

From UGA Human Resources:

The devastation left by the recent hurricanes has affected so many individuals across this country and abroad. Some are members of our own UGA community. We have faculty and staff who are working in areas that have experienced extensive damage to utilities and infrastructure, leaving them unable to perform their normal work responsibilities. The U.S. Department of Labor is providing assistance for those who are in this situation. Information outlining the details of the assistance that is available can be found online.

Please be aware that many the state programs have deadlines that are approaching soon: Georgia’s program has a deadline to file for assistance of Oct. 19, Texas’s disaster relief program has a deadline of Oct. 20, and Puerto Rico’s deadline to file is Nov. 13.

If you have questions concerning how the inclement weather policy can be applied during this time of natural disaster, please contact UGA Employee Relations at 706-542-9756.
