Stanislaus State supports telecommuting when the campus determines it is operationally feasible and in its best interest. Telecommuting is voluntary and can be implemented only in instances in which a department's appropriate administrator/MPP has determined that the nature of the job duties of a particular position can be performed successfully outside the traditional office setting without an undue impact on the University's operations and educational mission.
