Flexible Work Arrangements. All negotiations unit employees are eligible to request Flexible Work Arrangements (hereinafter “flexible work arrangement(s)”). Requests for flexible work arrangements shall not be unreasonably denied. This article shall not void any prior designated work schedules. A department may offer a flexible work arrangement based upon the nature of the work performed and departmental and/or university needs. An employee may also initiate a request for a flexible work arrangement with their supervisor. In either case, the department should enter into a University Flexible Work Arrangement, only if it is determined that the employee and the employee’s position are suitable for a flexible work arrangement. Not all positions are suitable for flexible work arrangements. Suitability for a flexible work arrangement is based upon the operational and service delivery needs of the department, the individual employee, and the employee’s position. In all instances, consideration and approval of remote work arrangements must reflect a focus on mission, service to our students and patients, impact on the communities within which we operate, and a shared responsibility to provide an engaging, vibrant, and connected University experience for our students. Decisions regarding suitability for flexible work arrangements including, but not limited to, types of remote work arrangements and forms of flexible work schedules shall rest with the University and shall be final.
