GUIDELINES FOR STAFF WORKING FROM HOME AND THOSE ON SICK LEAVE

The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce the overall risk of infection and to reduce the risk of someone in a risk group being exposed to

infection, for which SSE wishes to take extra responsibility. Guidelines and decisions can be reviewed and changed depending on how the situation develops.

I don’t have any symptoms but would like to work from home, is that possible?

We are following the Swedish authorities' recommendations (as of July 30) regarding this and recommend working from home, if the work that you perform on SSE

premises is not critical to the everyday functions of the School. Contact your manager about what applies to you. All situations are assessed individually on the basis of infection risk, risk group and work tasks. You do not have the right to decide to work from home yourself. Note that decisions can be reconsidered and that it is important that you have a constant dialogue with your manager about what applies to you.

I am working from home, how accessible do I need to be?

If you work from home you need to be reachable (for example by telephone, mail and other digital means) during regular working hours, unless you and your manager have agreed otherwise. Some roles may be critical and need to be on campus within a short amount of time. Consult with your direct manager if you are planning on being far from your workplace. The extraordinary situation we find ourselves in may mean that you will be asked to work on other work tasks for a period of time.

What if I hurt myself when I work at home, does the occupational injury insurance from SSE cover me?

For working from home, the work injury insurance (TFA, TFA-KL and PSA) applies.

Unlike work in the workplace, the accident must have a direct connection with the work you are performing. This means that you have been injured in the course of performing your duties. For example, if you injure yourself when you are making coffee in the kitchen, it is not considered a work-related accident, even if it happens during a fixed working time.

What should I do if I don’t feel 100% or feel unwell?

If you feel unwell, but do not have any sick or mild cold symptoms, the basic rule is that you come to work unless you have agreed otherwise with your manager. However, we are following the Swedish authorities' recommendations (as of July 30) regarding this and recommend working from home, if the work that you perform on SSE premises is not critical to the everyday functions of the School. Contact your manager about what

applies to you. If you are sick with a cold or a fever, you must take sick leave and wait until you are feeling well again (and are symptom-free) before being on SSE premises.

I have a sick child at home, what should I do if I stay at home to care for them?

There are no changes in this situation, it should be reported as VAB.

I am scheduled to work a shift at SSE but have cold symptoms. What should I do?

If you have a cold or have symptoms of a cold/flu, you should take sick leave.

How long do I have to stay at home if I've been sick?

If you have been sick, you should wait until you feel well again and are symptom-free before being on SSE premises.

I myself am in a risk group and/or live with a person who belongs to a risk group and I am worried about being infected/infecting the person I live with. Can I stay home and work?

We are following the Swedish authorities' recommendations (as of July 30) regarding this and recommend working from home, if the work that you perform on SSE

premises is not critical to the everyday functions of the School. Contact your manager about what applies to you. All situations are assessed individually on the basis of infection risk, risk group and work tasks. You do not have the right to decide to work from home yourself. Note that decisions can be reconsidered and that it is important that you have a constant dialogue with your manager about what applies to you.

I am worried about my employment at SSE, who can I contact?

You can contact your direct manager or Charlotte Celsing, HR Director. Currently, we have no planned layoffs.
