10.72 Remote Work
10.72.1 Objectives
É«»¢ÊÓÆµ recognizes that remote work can be an effective approach to fulfilling organizational objectives and providing employees with a flexible, productive work environment. Remote work arrangements are individually assessed based on the position duties and job requirements.
In order to provide flexible work options, a remote work arrangement may include:
• hybrid designations that involve an employee working some portion of the week/pay period at a remote site as well as on-campus, or
• fully remote designations in which most work is conducted at an alternate off-campus designated location.
A remote work arrangement may be made at the time of recruitment (i.e., condition of employment), during the employment period as determined by employee's departmental leadership and É«»¢ÊÓÆµ's Human Resources Department. All employees are expected to follow all professional standards of performance and conduct, applicable laws, and É«»¢ÊÓÆµ's Bylaws, Rules and Regulations and policies and procedures while at all work locations. All employees also are required to complete all É«»¢ÊÓÆµ mandatory training by specified deadlines, regardless of the work location.
É«»¢ÊÓÆµ reserves the right to end the designated remote work arrangement at any time for operational needs, performance concerns, scheduling conflicts, budgetary impacts, customer service needs, or other related matters. A minimum notice period of 28 calendar days should be provided to the employee prior to a required return to a designated campus location unless emergency circumstances necessitate the time period to be shortened or if a different time period is mutually agreed upon by the employee and É«»¢ÊÓÆµ.
Only hours spent on É«»¢ÊÓÆµ related work may be reflected as hours worked. If any time is dedicated to address personal items during the employee's workday, the employee is expected to use accrued leave as allowed under Lincoln
University's policies.
