PRESS RELEASE
Treasurer Fitzpatrick Institutes Work-from-Home Policy for Treasurer’s Office Staff
Jefferson City, MO – Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick
today announced that he has instituted a work-from-home policy for most
Treasurer’s Office staff as a result of the ongoing spread of COVID-19. Critical
functions, including banking and investments of state funds, will not be
impacted. “The health and safety of our
employees, and all Missourians, is a priority,” Treasurer Fitzpatrick said. “The
Treasurer’s Office is prepared and able to work from home and I believe this action
is necessary to help stem the spread of COVID-19. Having our employees work
from home will ensure that the critical functions performed by the Treasurer’s
Office will continue uninterrupted. While some functions like processing unclaimed
property claims may take longer than normal, our office will fulfill all commitments.”
This policy will be in place
until further notice. The Missouri State Treasurer’s
Office has 45 employees, all based in Jefferson City. ###
