Principal Investigator FAQ
What does my lab have to provide for personnel coming into the lab?
Appropriate personal protective equipment, disinfectants, wipes etc. for each lab are the responsibility of the PI to purchase and provide to personnel.
Can I schedule personnel throughout the full 24-period?
No. Allowable scheduled hours are from 7 am-12 midnight. The University’s Approach for Restart Recovery & Adaptation states:
“Scheduling regular research cohorts between midnight and 7 a.m. as a way to increase capacity is not allowed as the University does not have the full complement of institutional safety resources available during this time.”
Can PIs schedule work only Monday to Friday?
No. Personnel can come onsite on the weekends. However, supervisors cannot mandate weekend work, unless the employment contract allows for this.
