In this week’s Dos and Don’ts, we feature a new vaccine story, a reminder about entering our buildings, an opportunity to change your medical and FSA coverage, new separation FAQs and more!

A New First-Person Experience and more Vaccine News

Don’t miss our newest vaccine testimonial from Leah Covington, director Human Resources for BGE. Leah shares her experience both contracting COVID-19, but also getting the vaccination and what it means to her. Do be sure to check out her story!

Also, if you’ve been lucky enough to get the COVID-19 vaccine, don’t forget to let us know on the vaccine reporting page in Service Now, which has been updated to include the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

And, do make sure to safeguard your vaccine verification cards, just like you would any other important document. It may come in handy (or even be required) for travel or other vaccine verification purposes.

Going Somewhere?

Planning to head into an Exelon office? Although buildings are open, do make sure you have a business purpose to be on-site. Don’t forget to follow COVID-19 signage, including those explaining how to enter the building and screen yourself on-site. Do remember to wear your personal protective equipment (PPE) and practice social distancing, including limiting the number of people in elevators. Don’t forget that hand sanitizer and surface wipes are available at all locations. For more information, please review the Responsible Re-entry Webinar. If you are on-site and need PPE, sanitizer or surface wipes, please review this contact list to know who to call.

Temporary Opportunity to Change Plan Elections

Late last year, Congress passed a bill – The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 – that allows plan sponsors, like Exelon, to permit participants to make certain mid-year changes to health care and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plans. These temporary changes are intended to allow participants to address unanticipated situations caused by the pandemic.

Do be aware of this temporary opportunity to change some of your elections under the Exelon health care and spending account programs. For instance, you could enroll in medical coverage beginning March 12 or increase or decrease your contributions to a dependent care FSA without regard to a qualifying change of status (such as marriage, birth or adoption). The bill also extends claims deadlines related to 2019 and 2020 health care and dependent care FSA balances. Do read this overview for more details on this temporary opportunity.

Reminder: Check Out the New Separation HR FAQs

Do check out the latest frequently asked questions (FAQs) on human resources and benefits aspects of the company’s separation on our Focus on Our Future intranet site. Do get the answers to important questions, like what happens to the pension plans and what happens to stock in the Employee Savings Plan?

Replacing Symantec Endpoint Protection with Microsoft Defender

Exelon is transitioning from Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) to Microsoft Defender to protect against cyberthreats, such as viruses and malware across email, the cloud and the web. Do take note: from March through June, Microsoft Defender will be enabled on all Windows 10 computers and added to all Windows 7 and Mac computers. A reboot will be required after the installation.

Do be aware that some remote workers may see a pop-up window with a request to connect to the Exelon Network, through the Citrix Gateway VPN, prior to installation. Users who have not installed the VPN yet should do so with these instructions.

Do continue to be vigilant against suspicious emails and calendar invitations. Through our ongoing collective efforts, we can continue to protect Exelon’s critical assets and information.

Tour the New Intranet: Exelon Connect!

Do take a few moments to tour Exelon Connect, which will launch across all OpCos and BSC starting in late March! Don’t forget that with the reimagined intranet, you’ll be able to customize your content, share important stories on LinkedIn, search for the things that matter to you and do it all from your mobile device!
