Telecommuting. A. Where operational considerations permit and pursuant to a plan adopted by a department, a Bargaining Unit 7 employee may be permitted to telecommute when such work arrangements do not hinder, disrupt, nor interfere with the normal operation of the employer. Telecommuting work options shall conform to the definition, guidelines, and policies developed by the State's Telecommuting Advisory Group. Telecommuting which does not adhere to the guidelines and policies of the State’s Telecommuting Advisory Group shall not be allowed. B. The State may establish, pursuant to an operational need or a request by either CSLEA or a Bargaining Unit 7 employee, telecommute agreements and will comply with reasonable procedures established by his/her department. C. Once established, a telecommuting agreement/arrangement, absent an emergency, shall not be changed without thirty (30) calendar days notice. If requested, CSLEA shall be provided an opportunity to meet and confer over the impact of the proposed change. D. Employees who have a telecommuting agreement/arrangement with the State shall not have their agreement/arrangement arbitrarily or capriciously revoked or amended. For the purposes of the section, a legitimate operational need is not considered arbitrary or capricious.
