As a general practice, UW is not paying/reimbursing staff to self-isolate in hotels prior and/or after the travel has taken place.
Self-isolation would be up to the employee unless it is a requirement of the trip COVID Quarantine.
During Trip:
If a traveler becomes COVID positive during their travel, all meals and lodging are reimbursable depending on CDC, Airline guidelines and Country of destination guidelines.
No added expenses due COVID precautions that lead to personal preferences are not reimbursable. If it is a medical reason, please see ADA for more information.
COVID Testing:
Must be required by UW Business in order to receive reimbursement
All COVID tests will be reimbursed through the “Covid Test” expense item on Workday NOT “Immunizations”
