Approval Required

Approval of a Flexible Work Arrangement is at the sole discretion of the University, and no Flexible Work Arrangement shall be effective unless all required reviews and approvals are obtained in accordance with this policy.

Feasibility

Flexible Work Arrangements may be considered by Authorized Leaders and approved pursuant to this Policy, so long as the proposed Flexible Work Arrangement can be provided without sacrificing the performance and productivity of the Employee and the respective department or division as a whole.

Flexible Work is a Privilege

A Flexible Work Arrangement is a privilege and not all Employees or positions are eligible or suitable for a Flexible Work Arrangement. Approval of a Flexible Work Arrangement is not a contract for employment or a contract for the Flexible Work Arrangement. Approval of a Flexible Work Arrangement does not provide any contractual rights or guarantee to continued employment or a continued Flexible Work Arrangement. The University may revoke approval of a Flexible Work Arrangement at any time.

Compliance with Policies and Applicable Laws

Review, Modification, and Termination

1. Flexible Work Arrangements must be reviewed by the Employee's Authorized Leader(s) on an annual basis, if not more frequently, to confirm that the approved Flexible Work Arrangement continues to be beneficial for both the University and the Employee, and to ensure that the Flexible Work Arrangement remains compliant with University policies and procedures.
2. Modification or Termination of a Flexible Work Arrangement is at the sole discretion of the University. Any substantial modification to an approved Flexible Work Arrangement, including an extension or change in an Alternate Work Location, must go through the review and approval process that was required for the original request.

Types of Flexible Work Arrangements

Flexible Work Arrangements may include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Compressed Work Week

   1. A compressed work week is a Flexible Work Arrangement that enables employees to work the same number of hours that they were regularly scheduled to work, except such work shall be performed over fewer days within the same work week (Sunday through Saturday).
   2. For illustration only, below are examples of potential compressed work week schedules:
      1. A 4-day workweek, with ten-hour days.
      2. A 4.5-day workweek, with four 9-hour days and one 4-hour day.

2. Flextime

   1. Flextime is a Flexible Work Arrangement that permits Employees to alter their workday start and finish times while still working the same number of regularly scheduled hours per day.
   2. For illustration only, below are examples of potential flextime schedules:
      1. Continuous Flex - A continuous shift in an Employee's daily start and finish times, such as working from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm each day, instead of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.
      2. Seasonal Flex - A shift in an Employee's daily start and finish times during specified seasonal months.

      4. Core Hours Flex - An established period of time during which an Employee must work, with the flexibility to choose start and finish times. For example, if core hours are from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, an Employee may start as early as 7:00 am or leave as late as 6:00 pm, so long as they are working during the core hours and complete their regularly scheduled hours per day.

3. Job Sharing

   1. Job sharing is a Flexible Work Arrangement in which two Employees share the hours and duties of a job that is normally performed by one Full-Time Employee.
   2. For illustration only, below are examples of job sharing:
      1. Island Model/Job Split - Two Employees share one position, but each Employee is responsible for certain tasks, specializing in different areas. Tasks are independent of one another.
      2. Twin Model - Two Employees share one position and the workload is shared. This could be split day (i.e., one works mornings, other works afternoons) or split week (i.e., one works Mon/Tues, other works Thurs/Friday and both work on Wednesday).

4. Reduced Work Time

   1. Reducing the number of hours worked per week is a Flexible Work Arrangement where full-time Employees are permitted to work less than 40 hours per week on a regular and continuous basis. To become effective, this arrangement requires the submission of appropriate paperwork to Human Resources.
   2. A Flexible Work Arrangement that includes a reduction in the number of hours worked per week may result in a reduction in the Employee's compensation, depending on the Employee's classification and circumstances of the arrangement.
   3. For illustration only, below are examples of reduced work time:
      1. Reduced Full-Time 鈥� An Employee consistently works less than 40 hours per week but greater than 30 hours per week.
      2. Reduced to Part-Time 鈥� An Employee consistently works less than 30 hours per week.

   3. A Remote Work arrangement fits into one of the categories below:
      1. Temporary Remote Work - Working from an Alternate Work Location for a defined time that is 21 consecutive days or less. If a question exists about the potential effectiveness of Remote Work, an Authorized Leader may consider authorizing Remote Work on a temporary basis with regular and scheduled reviews to determine within those 21 days if Occasional or Regular Remote Work is an option.
      2. Occasional Remote Work - Working from an Alternate Work Location on an infrequent basis that is not consecutive days and/or is 21 days or less.
      3. Regular Remote Work - Working from an Alternate Work Location on a continuous and regularly scheduled basis for more than 21 consecutive days.
