Telework Agreement Form

The purpose of this document is for both the supervisor and the employee to have a clear, shared understanding of the employee’s telework arrangement during crises. Each telework arrangement is unique depending on the needs of the position, supervisor, and employee.

This telework agreement is not a contract of employment and does not provide any contractual rights to continued employment. It does not alter or supersede the terms of the existing employment relationship. The employee remains obligated to comply with all Burrell College rules, policies, practices, and instructions that would apply if the employee were working at their regular worksite.

Job Duties

The general expectation for a telework arrangement is that employees will effectively accomplish their regular job duties, regardless of work location.

While on telework, an employee will:
- remain accessible during the telecommute work schedule;
- check in with the supervisor 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, sick, or other leave in the same manner as when working at employee’s regular work location.
Employee’s duties, obligations, responsibilities, and conditions of employment with Burrell College remain unchanged except those obligations and responsibilities specifically addressed in this agreement. Job responsibilities, standards of performance, and performance appraisals remain the same as when working at the normally assigned duty station.The supervisor reserves the right to assign work as necessary at any work site.
The parties acknowledge that this agreement may be evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that employee’s work quality, efficiency, and productivity are not compromised by the telework arrangement described herein.

Either the employee or Burrell College may end an employee requested telework arrangement. This form does not apply to telework arrangements made through the disability accommodation process. All employee-proposed changes are subject to supervisor approval.

Equipment and Technology Access

Burrell College supervisors will work with their employee(s) to determine appropriate and suitable equipment. In the spaces below, specify any equipment or technology access the employee will need to telework and whether it will be employee or Burrell College provided. In the event of equipment failure or service interruption, the employee must notify their supervisor immediately to discuss alternate assignments or other options. Internet access should be through the VPN system.

Employee agrees to protect Burrell College-owned equipment, records, and materials from unauthorized or accidental access, use, modification, destruction, or disclosure. Data security is vital. The precautions described in this agreement apply regardless of the storage media on which information is maintained, the locations where the information is stored, the systems used to process the information, or the process by which the information is stored.

Telework - Timekeeping and Leave

Non-telework employees are expected to report to work as scheduled unless otherwise notified. Regular leave policies and procedures should be followed for employees who are unable to report to work.

Employees on telework should maintain accurate time records and supervisors are accountable for management of those records. Non-exempt employees should not perform any work related business when off the clock. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees will be compensated for overtime that has been approved in advance by the supervisor in accordance with the provisions of the act.

Employees in exempt (salaried) positions are exempt from overtime regulations. Pursuant to established Burrell College policies, employees must obtain supervisory approval before taking leave.
