As service to our students and families is of the utmost importance, functional areas that provide services to incoming/returning students and families should ensure coverage through in-person or telecommuting services. 

There are functional areas where granting liberal leave may not be feasible, such as those caring for live plants/animals/humans, critical Facilities work, UPD, etc.
