Remote Work Site. A work site other than the employee's usual and customary work site (Main Work Site). The remote work site shall mean the employee’s residence or any remote office location approved by St. Mary’s College of Maryland. It may include the employee's home, a satellite office, or a Telework Center.
Remote Work Site. Employee warrants that the home or other designated remote work site is quiet, clean, and safe, with adequate lighting and ventilation. Unless pre-approved by the employee’s supervisor, the employee will not hold business visits or meetings with professional colleagues, customers, or the public at the remote worksite. Hours of Work. The employee will have regularly scheduled work hours agreed upon with the supervisor, including specific core hours and telephone/other electronic accessibility. The employee must promptly and accurately report all exception time to regular hours (vacation, sick time, other leave time) in accordance with University practices for exempt employees. The employee will attend job-related meetings, training sessions and conferences in person as requested by supervisors. In addition, the employee may be requested to attend "short-notice" meetings in person. Incidental Costs. Unless otherwise stated in the Telecommuting Agreement or agreed upon in writing with a supervisor, all incidental costs, such as residential utility costs, internet service or cleaning services, are the responsibility of the employee. Inclement Weather. If the primary worksite is closed due to an emergency or inclement weather, the supervisor will contact the employee. The employee may continue to work at the remote work site. If there is an emergency at the remote work site, such as a power outage, the employee will notify the supervisor as soon as possible. The employee may be reassigned to the primary work site or an alternate work site.
Remote Work Site. The district reserves the right to determine whether offices are open for the public during school closures. If offices are directed to be open in person during school closures, staff assigned to those offices may stagger work/home schedules to assure office coverage. Unit members assigned to settings other than school/district offices may either work at their work site or home while their worksite is closed to students and the District’s Distance Learning Plan is being implemented. If the District obtains a waiver or is allowed targeted small group in-person learning sessions, unit members will be given the option to work in person with students but shall not be required to report to the district in person while working under the Plan C distance learning model or the Virtual Learning Program, except as outlined in the section d.
