Flexible Work for Staff

The University recognizes that the utilization of flexible work arrangements offers advantages for both the University and our employees where these arrangements are operationally appropriate. Providing flexible work options may result in increased employee job satisfaction and retention, employee productivity, and improved recruitment results. Flexible work options also contribute to the promotion of carbon emission neutrality by reducing frequency of commuting to campus. Additionally, flexible work supports strategic use of campus space.  

Unit leaders will designate which positions are eligible and ineligible for Flexible Work. For employees in positions eligible for Flexible Work, the employee must submit for their supervisor’s approval a “Request for Flexible Work.” To be eligible for flexible work, the employee must be able to work independently, be in good standing without documented performance concerns and meet expectations in their current role. If a Request for Flexible Work is approved, the University and employee will enter into a “Flexible Work Agreement.”

Units retain the discretion to modify, temporarily suspend, and/or rescind Flexible Work Plans and/or Flexible Work Agreements as needed.
