亲爱的同事们,
5月5日, 2022, Office of the Governor for the Commonwealth of Virginia issued a communication to all state agencies including public institutions of higher education regarding a new statewide telework policy. The purpose of the communication was to announce the Governor's goal "to deliver best-in-class government services across all agencies" and embark "on a new path that values innovation, 团队合作, and in-person communication.
Highlights of New Policy
The new telework policy, 政策1.61年电子办公，对…生效 2022年7月5日 and applies to classified employees at this time. This policy will supersede University Telework Policy 6202. Moreover, current telework agreement form will be replaced with a new Standard Telework Agreement.
Under the new policy, new telework agreements would require approvals from:
- 机构负责人:
- Where one day a week is requested as a telework day;
- Temporary telework, no more than two weeks, for temporary circumstances such as family illness, 学校关闭, weather advisories, 等.
- Cabinet Secretary:
- Where two days a week are requested as telework days.
- Governor's Chief of 工作人员:
- Where more than two days a week are requested as telework days.
行动步骤:
Existing telework agreements on file will remain in effect through 2022年7月4日. 所有新 approved Standard Telework Agreements will take effect on 2022年7月5日. Employees that do not have a new approved Standard Telework Agreement on file are expected to physically report to the office for regular employment hours.
监事 who would like to request telework for their employee(s) should complete the new electronic Standard Telework Agreement. Upon completion of the request by the supervisor, agreement will be 评估 by the appropriate 副总统, ODU Department of 人力资源, 和 总统. The new Standard Telework Agreement should be submitted to the ODU Department of 人力资源 by May 20th.
总统 Hemphill supports telework that can be approved at the agency level for those positions that are conducive to teleworking and do not impede the ability to provide a high standard of service to our students and other members of the Monarch community. The University will only submit agreements to the Governor's Cabinet Secretary and Chief of 工作人员 for two or more days a week in rare and exceptional circumstances. (Examples include documented conditions of employment at the time of hire and reasonable accommodations approved under ADA).
Questions and 资源
Instructions on the steps to complete the new electronic Standard Telework Agreement will be sent to supervisors and Budget Unit Directors early next week, along with the new Electronic Standard Telework Agreement.
