UH System Announcement sent to all employees (inclusive of student employees) regarding UH Vaccination and Testing Policy
As a reminder, under the University of Hawaiʻi Vaccination and Testing Policy effective August 23, 2021, employees are expected to show compliance with the policy through the LumiSight UH daily health check app by uploading their COVID-19 Vaccination Card OR negative COVID-19 test results into the system within the applicable period (7 days from time of test for PCR, 3 days from time of test for antigen). Supervisors may validate policy compliance with their employees on a regular or irregular basis by checking the employee’s “green” or “red” status via the LumiSight UH app.
Employees unable to upload their documents to LumiSight UH should email LumiSightUH@hawaii.edu for assistance or reach out to their HR office. Those employees who do not upload their documents should maintain a paper copy of their vaccination card or valid negative test when on campus to validate compliance with the policy with their supervisors.
Employees seeking medical or religious exemptions related to the COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Policy should inquire with their HR office.
The OHR website has been updated to include policy compliance FAQs, forms and other information for both employees and supervisors.
