Security of Records Supervisors should discuss with employees what records may or may not be taken from the office and any procedures for removing and returning them. Employees are responsible for the security of all documents and records in their possession. The amount of time the employee is expected to work per pay period will not change due to participation in the telecommuting program. Hours of work should remain the same unless specified in the telecommuting agreement. The procedures for approval of overtime and the approval and use of leave should also be included.
Employees are responsible for reporting all hours worked each week.
Failure to report time, like failure to obtain approval for overtime, can result in the termination of the telecommuting arrangement or other disciplinary action. Supervisors should periodically remind employees about their record-keeping duties, and must promptly discuss with the employee any discrepancies that arise between the work product and the hours reported. 2.1.4 Authorized Closing Inclement weather should also be discussed. Employees working at home during a university closing would be expected to continue working unless that was not possible due to power outages or other conditions that prevent them from working. Employees telecommuting during an authorized closing would not receive compensatory time off.
