Face Coverings


Face coverings are required in indoor spaces for employees and the public, regardless of vaccination status. This applies to shared spaces such as restrooms and hallways. This also applies to vehicles unless an employee is alone. Employees are not required to wear face coverings if alone in a closed door space or alone in a cubicle. Eugene Springfield Fire personnel will continue to follow department in station specific guidance.


Face coverings are not required to perform work outside unless sector specific guidance required them. If you work in a sector that is subject to wearing face coverings outside, your supervisor will  notify you.

Guidance for City of Eugene Work

Alternative work schedules 

The City is making alternate work schedules available to individuals who have job functions that support an alternative work schedule while also ensuring departments can deliver essential services. This alternative creates an avenue for recommended physical distancing and also helps you balance the needs of your home and family during this time.  Alternative assignments may also be available related to supporting the work-group or assisting with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Please review Guide for Coding Your Time (PDF) for information related to reporting your time. 


Reduced Work Schedule 

Employees may request (from supervisor) to have their regularly scheduled work hours temporarily reduced. Impact to accruals is based on City administrative regulations or union contract.   


Flexible/Staggered Work Hours 

Employees may request (from supervisor) to temporarily work non-traditional hours including split shifts and weekend work (i.e. a schedule that is different from the traditional 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday).  


Alternative Assignments 

It could happen that you might be asked to help provide essential services due to high absenteeism. In that case, you will receive the necessary training.
