COVID Update

WOW!  There’s a word we haven’t talked about in a while!   As of 3/1/2024, the CDC has officially relaxed their isolation guideline requirements.  Under the new guidance, there is NO isolation period required.  Individuals should monitor themselves for various respiratory virus symptoms, including fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose and headache.  Those who develop such symptoms are recommended to “stay home and away from others,” but also advised that they can return to normal activities “when, for at least 24 hours,” their symptoms are improving and they have not had a fever without the use of fever-reducing medication.  The CDC’s recommendations are now independent of whether an individual actually has tested positive for COVID-19 or any other respiratory virus, and do not include any minimum isolation period.

Benefits Reminder

In years past, during months where you receive 3 paychecks, there has been what is often referred to as a “Benefit Holiday” … where the last check of the month does not have Benefit Deductions.  What may come as a surprise to you – is that we actually stopped this practice in 2022!  However, we still get questions about it when March pops up, as that is often the first month of the year that has 3 paychecks.  This is just a friendly reminder… that RRI West has 26 regular paychecks in a given year and all 26 will see benefits deductions.
