Either management or the employee may terminate an employee's telecommuting arrangement for any reason, at any time. If an employee requests to terminate telecommuting, management will arrange for the employee to begin working at the main office as quickly as possible, but no later than 30 days after notification by the employee. Management may terminate an employee's telecommuting arrangement without notice. Management will provide an employee with as much advance notice as feasible. Failure by the telecommuter to maintain a home office that is safe, ergonomically sound and free from distraction so as not to interfere with work, as determined by management, provides cause for terminating an employee's telecommuting arrangement.
Management determines whether telecommuting is appropriate, based upon work requirements.
Those who telecommuted previously are not assured of a telecommuting assignment when returning from a leave of absence or after a job transfer. The employee is responsible for maintaining personal equipment at the employee's own expense and during personal time. Each department must arrange to pay for business expenses incurred by telecommuters. The Travel Expense Claim can be used for usual and ordinary University expenses. Employees should retain copies of appropriate reimbursable bills.
