Remote work Internet allowance will end Aug. 28

July 30, 2021

In April 2020, in an effort to mitigate risks from the COVID pandemic, the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ required most ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æs to work remotely. In order to cover any incremental or new costs related to increased demand for home internet, the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ established an internet connectivity allowance program on a temporary and hardship basis.  

Now that ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æs are returning to the office or transitioning to elective remote work arrangements, the program will end. The allowance will be discontinued August 28, 2021. As ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æs and supervisors discuss any longer term remote work arrangements it needs to be clear to all parties that the Internet Connectivity Allowance Program will not be available.
