Telework in your Dominion
°¿³Ü°ùÌýUniversity Telework Policy and the State Telework Policy allows designated employees to work at alternate work locations for all or part of their workweek in order to promote general work efficiencies. A teleworker is an employee who, under formal agreement with the university, performs his/her usual job duties in an alternate work location (with or without a specific telework schedule). Telework assignments do not change the conditions of employment or the total number of hours that employees are expected to work. Teleworkers must comply with all state and university policies.

If employee is approved to telework, the following must be completed before the employee may work from an alternate work site:
According to Â鶹´«Ã½'s Telework Policy 6202, in making decisions about which positions are appropriate to designate or approve for telework, management, in consultation with HR, will analyze the duties of positions and how the work is performed. Generally, the types of positions that may be appropriate for telework are those that:
- Require independent work;
- Require little face-to-face interaction;
- Require concentration;
- Result in specific, measurable work products; and
- Can be monitored by output, not time spent doing the job.
The DHRM may also be a helpful resource for determining eligibility. Please also see the New Statewide Telework Policy.
