Good morning,
This is the last week for workers to fill out the DHHS Telework Approval Form. The deadline is Friday, July 1.
All the information you need to know can be found at the Office Re-entry Planning for DHHS page (you can also navigate to it by visiting the DHHS homepage, hovering on “About Us” then clicking on “Staff” and scrolling down to the bottom of the page – it is the last bullet).
Even if you do not plan on teleworking, if you are eligible, we encourage you to fill out the form. Contractors should also fill out the DHHS Telework Approval Form. The first question has a drop-down option that allows you to indicate “Contract” if you are a contractor/supplemental staff.
We have had some questions about the dress code for those coming back to offices. Frequently Asked Question Q24 explains that we are returning to the equivalent standard dress code (PDF) that was in place prior to COVID-19 in offices.
Keep the questions coming to: employeequestions.dhhs@maine.gov. And if you have questions on the Form, please send them to opex.dhhs@maine.gov.
Thanks, Jeanne
Jeanne M. Lambrew, PhD,
Commissioner
