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.

Telecommute Agreement Process
Step 1: Review the Telecommute Program
Before you initiate a conversation with your supervisor or appropriate administrator, familiarize yourself with Stanislaus State's Telecommuting Program so that you understand the obligations, responsibilities, and limitations associated with Telecommuting or Remote Work.
Step 2: Meet with your supervisor or appropriate administrator
Meet with your supervisor to discuss the possibility of telecommuting.

Your supervisor or appropriate administrator will draft the Telecommuting Program Agreement including:
- Telecommute start/end dates
- Telecommute weekly work schedule
- Work performance expectations
- Routing signature for employee, themselves, then the appropriate administrator
The employee will then receive the draft and will be responsible for confirming the above and completing:
