Flexible Work Arrangements are a business strategy that can help employers recruit and retain talented employees. Flexible Work Arrangements may include:
- Flexible Schedule:
- Recurring* adjustments to an employee’s weekly work schedule while keeping the total number of hours worked in a workweek the same (e.g. 4 days x 10 hours per day, etc.).
- Recurring* adjustments to the start and end times of an employee’s scheduled work day.
- Remote Work:
- Adjustments to an employee’s customary work location involving the employee performing a portion of their assigned work from a location other than their designated university duty station.
Hybrid - A combination of on-site and remote work, where an employee performs a portion of their assigned duties at their designated university duty station and a portion from an approved remote location.
100% Remote - Full-time remote work arrangements may be approved by management only in exceptional circumstances necessary to meet specific operational needs of the University and/or when necessary to fill vacancies or retain employees in critical positions where the full functions of the position can be performed remotely.
- Adjustments to an employee’s customary work location involving the employee performing a portion of their assigned work from a location other than their designated university duty station.
The University values in-person engagement with colleagues, constituents, and the broader campus community. As a result, most approved remote work arrangements are expected to include an on-site component. Requests for fully remote work will be considered only in limited circumstances when required to meet specific operational needs or to recruit or retain employees in positions where all essential job functions can be performed remotely.
