Taking into account the content of § 1 of the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 16 March 2020 amending the regulation on the temporary limitation of the functioning of certain entities of the higher education and science system in relation to the prevention, counteraction and fighting COVID-19 (Journal of Laws item 455), from 18 March 18 2020 to 25 March 2020, the following principles of performing work by the University employees are introduced:
- In order to ensure the continuity of the University's work and taking into account the state of epidemic emergency, heads of organizational units of the University are obliged to organize the work of subordinate employees in a way limiting the performance of work by employees at the University.
- The University organizational units appoint persons on duty.
- In order to enable work outside the University, employees who do not have business mobile phones are asked to provide their superiors with other phone numbers to provide business contact.

In reference to the statement of 18 March 2020 regarding the rules for the provision of work by University employees from 18 March 2020 to 25 March 2020, taking into account the content of the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 11 March 2020 on the temporary limitation of the functioning of some entities in the higher education and science system in relation to the prevention, counteraction and fighting COVID-19 (Journal of Laws, item 405, as amended), I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the information provided in the statement concerns the provision of work for the Medical University of Bialystok.
At the same time, I remind you that pursuant to art. 92 of the Act of 15 April 2011 on medical activities (i.e., Journal of Laws of 2020, item 295):
"Academic teachers of medical universities and doctoral students at medical universities or federations of entities of the higher education and science system conducting scientific activity in the field of medical sciences are employed in a medical entity referred to in Article 89 paragraph 1 or in the organizational unit referred to in Article 89, paragraphs 2 and 3:
1) in the task-based working time on the basis of an employment contract specifying didactic, research and health care services, including highly specialized services;
2) on the basis of a civil law agreement specifying, in particular, didactic and research tasks, and the provision of health services, including highly specialized services. "
Considering the above, the rules for performing duties in clinical hospitals and other medical entities employing academic teachers are determined by hospital directors and doctors managing individual hospital units.
