COVID Phase C Transition - returning to the workplace
June 25, 2021
As our universities transition into more on-site activities throughout the summer and into the fall, many ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs will also be returning to on-site work at our campuses.
The pace of that transition will depend on your campus location, so both ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs and supervisors should look first to guidance from their universities. For locations that are transitioning back to on-site work, ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs and supervisors should work together to determine whether a fully on-site, hybrid or 100% remote work arrangement is appropriate.
Employees who are continuing to work partially or fully from home will need to complete a telework agreement with their supervisor. Last month, supervisors received initial guidance on using the UA telework agreement for ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs who are continuing full-time or partial remote work. Since then, we have refined the process to make it easier for ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs and supervisors.
To that end, please use the new starting today. This new form requires supervisor approval only. If a telework agreement is already approved, then a new agreement is not required. Forms that have already been submitted and not yet approved will be rerouted by HR to the supervisor.
Please communicate and discuss with your direct supervisor if a hybrid or 100% remote work arrangement is an option prior to completing the agreement.
Please contact UA Human Resources by email at ua-hr@alaska.edu or by phone at (907) 450-8200 if you have any questions.
