COMMISSIONER ISSUES NO ACTION POSITION
In response to the outbreak of the coronavirus, Banking Commissioner Jorge Perez, issued a memo on March 10, 2020 advising the mortgage industry, and other financial services sectors licensed by the Department, that it would take a no action position with regard to employees working from home who otherwise would be required to work from a licensed branch location. This allows employees to work from home if they meet certain requirements:
The employee works for a licensee of the Department
Working from home is related to COVID-19
Individuals must maintain their license
No activity should be conducted with the public at the home location
The licensee must continue to reasonably supervise the employee
This is part of a comprehensive effort to help stop the spread of Covid19 and minimize the impact on Connecticut businesses. Licensees are encouraged to read the full no action memo at ct.gov/dob.
