Update on Alternative Work Arrangements

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 18:04:02 -0400

Dear Faculty and Staff,

The Alternative Work Arrangements section of the Human Resources website has been updated to include revised telework and remote work agreements, a sample scheduler, a hybrid workplace presentation, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).

Existing telework and remote work arrangements end June 30, 2022. and must be renewed. The telework approval process through DocuSign now allows areas to include up to four approval levels (if necessary) and to designate either a defined or undefined end date. The supervisor/department head, vice president, or dean will provide instructions regarding the required approvals in your area. The approval process for remote work will remain the same -- review and approval by the Provost, vice president or dean, and the Chief Human Resources Officer.

We encourage staff, supervisors, and department heads to visit the alternative work arrangements site to learn more.

Our existing telework/remote work policies will continue to apply. Thank you for your patience as we continue to develop processes and policies for out-of-state employees.

Questions regarding alternative work arrangements may be submitted to Sherrell McNamara (mcnamara@umbc.edu) or Kelly Coleman (kellycol@umbc.edu).

Valerie A. Thomas, Chief Human Resources Officer
