Incidental Telework

Definition
Occasional employee-requested work arrangements due to household appointments, to provide flexibility and maximize productivity around partial day absences for medical appointments, or to work from an alternative worksite when uninterrupted time is needed to complete a project. Incidental telework is also an option for employees who are experiencing mild illness but are well enough to work from home. Incidental telework when caring for a mildly ill family member is allowable if the caregiver's responsibilities are minimal. Incidental telework requests are approved on an infrequent, case-by-case basis, and not regularly scheduled or repeated on an ongoing or weekly basis.

Incidental telework is not appropriate as a substitute for sick time and should not be used when the employee's own or a family member's illness or injury interferes with the employee's ability to perform their work. However, during suspended operations, modified operations, or as communicated by executive leadership, working at home while providing dependent care is allowable, consistent with the policies and expectations related to telework as outlined in college policy and procedure.
