Employee Telework Option Sample Clauses

Employee Telework Option. Appropriately planned and managed, telework is an option that can benefit the District and employees. Teleworking is an important means by which we can help reduce air pollution, traffic and parking congestion, and demand for office space. Teleworking is also an important means to lower absenteeism and employees’ stress levels, to increase employees’ productivity and improve quality of life. The District will provide telework for employees that have assigned duties that allow them to do so such as writing, reading, analyzing, telephoning, computer work and data entry. Teleworking staff will contribute to District objectives, while maintaining or improving efficiency, productivity, and customer service. Telework is defined as working one or more days away from the employee’s main office or school site, either at home in a space specifically set aside as an office in an employee’s residence or at an alternative location. The telework schedule must be preapproved by the employee’s supervisor prior to the start of the schedule. A supervisor must approve an employee’s request for telework unless it places an undue hardship on the employer. Supervisors cannot discriminate in the approval of telework requests. Any violation of this section shall be subject to the grievance procedure in Article 18. Telework employees will: remain accessible during work hours by phone and/or email; check in with the supervisor regularly to discuss status and open issues; be available for teleconferences, scheduled on an as-needed basis; be available to come into the office if a business need arises; request supervisor approval in advance of working any overtime hours (if employee is non-exempt); and request supervisor approval to use vacation in the same manner as when working at Employee’s regular work location. Employees need not obtain approval to take emergency, sick, or imminent death leaves or to use comp time. The District shall provide all necessary equipment for employees to telework. Upon request, the District shall provide all employees teleworking with an annual stipend of $ 1,500.
