Operative words

This memorandum follows the last memo on this subject of June 26, 2020, regarding the reduction of Essential Government Operations in Executive Order 2020-04. Due to the reduced incidence of COVID-19 cases on the Choctaw Indian Reservation, we are proceeding cautiously, but I have advised Directors and Supervisors that beginning no later than Monday, July 13, 2020, at 8:00 a.m., all employees, unless on approved leave, will begin working.... non-exempt employees will begin to work on a rotational basis for 40 hours per bi-weekly pay period. Employees will be scheduled on a rotational basis, and rotational days cannot be modified by employees since the supervisor will schedule employees to limit interaction for safety concerns.... The Division of Early Childhood will be fully operational on July 27, 2020, so parents who are without childcare will need to make alternative arrangements or request Emergency Paid Sick Leave. Those who have been approved to Telework must also report to work no later than July 13, 2020, unless they apply for and are granted approval for continued Telework
