Summary: Telecommuting, or working from home or a distant location, is available to UCI employees after consultation with their supervisors. |
Definition
- Telecommuting occurs when an employee works from home or another location other than the usual campus site designated as the telecommuting site.
- It need not affect an employee’s regular work schedule and telecommuting can be a full time (40 hours a week) or occasional (one or more days a week) arrangement.
- Telecommuting can occur in conjunction with a flex schedule.
- A telecommuting arrangement can be specified and in place for a short term, long term or as an accommodation for a medical condition.
- Successful telecommuting arrangements are carefully thought out and expectations have been well communicated to all parties involved.
Employees may initiate the request to telecommute with their supervisor. Use these tools to set up telecommuting:
- Establishing a Telecommuting Program
- Communications Worksheet
- Daily Calendar Worksheet
- Telecommuting Do's and Don'ts
