Flexible Work Options

The School of Medicine is often able to provide flex time and flex place (telecommuting) options as well as other flexible work schedule arrangements.  Flexible work options are possibilities, not entitlements. They are constrained by factors such as the nature of the work to be performed, productivity, federal and state legislation, union contracts, restrictions of funding sources, task interdependence, and other operational constraints.   For example, while most non-exempt positions are not conducive to telecommute arrangements, often, exempt positions are.   Arrangement for flexible work options are at the discretion of management and may require Employee Relations approval and signed documents.   If you have questions about making your department more flexible, please contact the Employee Relations group at 5-8607.
