In certain circumstances including public health, institutional, or personal emergencies/illnesses or as necessary to meet responsibilities of the institution, the President may approve remote work for a specified period. To request this type of change to a normal work schedule, a supervisor must send a request to the Human Resources Director, who will relay the information and respond according to the decision made by the President. The request should specify the reason(s) why it is necessary for the employee to work remotely and indicate the period being requested. Remote work approvals typically will apply only to emergency situations. In most circumstances, sick, personal, or annual leave would need to be used instead.
