MCC Daily Tribune Archive

Boost Your Flu IQ


Knowledge is one of our best defenses against the flu. So every Thursday, the MCC Daily Tribune will tackle your questions about H1N1 flu, the college’s response and preparation for it, and what you can do. Send your questions to <"mailto:marcom@monroecc.edu">.

Q:  What should I do if I think I have the flu?

The Human Resources Department responds:
If you are at work and begin experiencing flu-like symptoms, inform your supervisor and go home. If you are at home, call your supervisor and stay home.

Supervisors who think an employee is exhibiting flu-like symptoms may send the employee home. Our priority concern is on the health of individuals and on maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all.

Q: Do I have to charge my personal sick leave or other paid time?

Yes, employees should charge sick leave or any other paid time to cover their absences.


More information on MCC and H1N1 is available on our web site, www.monroecc.edu/go/H1N1 .
Help spread the facts, not the flu.
