Common use of Remote Work Clause in Contracts

Remote Work. 16.1 The Employer and the Union agree that employees are expected to report to their officially assigned work or duty stations ready to work each scheduled workday. The parties agree that an employee’s assigned work or duty station may be changed to remote from their usually assigned work or duty station. The parties also agree that some job classifications are not conducive to working away from an assigned work or duty station and therefore will not be eligible for remote work or telework. 16.2 If a Department/Division has a remote work or telework policy and an employee wishes to work remotely, they must request approval from their Department/Division and complete remote work or telework paperwork. If a request for remote work or telework is denied, an employee may request a written response. Such response will be provided within thirty (30) calendar days of the request. 16.3 If an employee is permitted to work remotely, they will be working their specified remote work schedule at a mutually agreed upon alternate worksite that is away from their official duty station pursuant to their Department’s/Division’s policies and procedures. If an employee’s remote work agreement is rescinded, they will be given seven (7) calendar days’ notice prior to that agreement being rescinded, with an explanation for why the remote work is being rescinded. 16.4 The parties also understand that circumstances arise that may change the working conditions and working locations for some employees. In the interest of continuing operations for the Employer, working remotely may be available as an alternative to reporting to an employee’s official duty station. 16.5 Permission to work remotely can be rescinded at any time at the discretion of the Department/Division. 16.6 This Article is not subject to Article 20, Grievance Procedure.
