                Please note  the policy regarding hiring and onboarding below.

                As I mentioned at the group leaders meeting, I have asked OIS for the status of the visas for the new hires, if needed.  See the list I sent for those who have accepted our offers. If you see anyone missing from the list, please let me and Leesa know.

Subject: Hiring and Onboarding During COVID 19

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has required Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) to make several changes to our hiring and new hire onboarding processes.   These changes are outlined below:      

·         New Hire Start Dates:  New hires are provided with a start date if they can begin work remotely or are able to begin work immediately on site.  For those who cannot work remotely or immediately work on site, a statement is included in the offer letter indicating a start date will be provided based on the status of the global pandemic.  Recruiters are letting new hires know that they should not give notice to current employers if a remote start or immediate on-site start date is not feasible.  OMC has started scheduling pre-placement physicals and will be able to establish start dates for those new hires shortly.   

·         Who can start work remotely?   New hires who are currently authorized to work in the U.S. and are located in the U.S. can onboard remotely provided that their work can be performed remotely.   We cannot authorize remote work for new hires outside of the U.S., except for employees who will be working at CERN and are currently located at CERN. 

·         Relocating New Hires:   Consistent with the U.S. Department of Energy’s restrictions on travel, BSA will not relocate any employees in the U.S. or internationally until these restrictions are lifted.  This includes paying for report-to-work travel, temporary housing (unless the employee is already in the housing), movement of household goods, and all other aspects of an employee’s relocation allowances.   Relocation, including report-to-work travel, cannot be paid for with BSA funds.

We will keep you updated as these processes and restrictions change.   Recruiters and your HR Manager will work with you to maintain communication with new hires and to establish reasonable start dates for them.  

 

Please share these changes with the hiring managers in your department or division.
