Many people have heard of “absenteeism,” where an employee regularly stays away from work without a good reason. There’s also “presenteeism,” where an employee is at their desk, but can't or isn't performing their job duties due to illness, injury or other conditions. There is, however, a third less known “ism” called “leaveism”.
Do you have concerns about the full return to campus in Fall 2021?
You can have a confidential conversation with APSA on questions and concerns about your work requirements during the return to campus and if you need additional information or support. We're here to support you in improving your work-life experience and for questions and concerns about the terms and conditions of your employment.
Please call 778-782-5423 or email apsa@sfu.ca.
The province has advised a full-scale return to campus for post-secondary students in the fall of 2021. SFU has more information on the return to campus here. We continue to discuss workplace safety and COVID-19 with SFU senior admin and have released the results of our return to campus survey.
