New Remote Work Agreement form released
Remote work is a management-approved arrangement that allows the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ to work
at a location away from a university managed workplace. The Remote Work Regulation has been updated to reflect changes since the inception of the program in 2021.
A new Remote Work Agreement that aligns with the Regulation changes is now available. All ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs with a previous
remote work agreement on file must complete the new form by January 31, 2025. In early January, UA HR will contact ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs via email who currently have a remote
work agreement on file and need to complete the new form.
If a change in remote work location is being requested, before initiating , ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æs should connect with their direct supervisor to discuss the change. This discussion should cover the proposed remote work arrangement's implications, expectations, and feasibility. Only after this discussion should the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ initiate this form.
The Remote Work website has been updated to incorporate regulation changes (R04.01.051). The following changes were incorporated into the regulations:
- The threshold for a formal remote work agreement was increased from 20% remote to 40% remote
- A new remote work agreement is required for a change in work location, supervisor, or position
- Remote work agreements will be reviewed by the supervisor and ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ on an annual basis
- To the extent possible, the remote work hours should align with university operating hours
- Remote work agreements outside of the US must be pre-approved by UA HR
Please see the website for full guidelines and procedures.
