May I take time off during work to see an Ombuds?
If you visit the Ombuds Office during your scheduled work hours, you must follow your departmental guidelines for being away from your workstation – including informing your supervisor. However, the Ombuds Office recognizes that there are times when you don’t want anyone to know about a visit the Ombuds Office. Since it’s a confidential resource, we will make every effort to see people during lunch hours or before or after work. The Ombuds Office staff is also available by appointment to see employees who work on different shifts.
