Dawn Fahner – Flexible Work Arrangements for Classified Staff (SATSS Only; not AFSCME)
Reviewed document provided by Dawn Fahner. This policy mirrors the Unclassified policy with additions/edits for Classified Staff. This policy could be in effect as early as February 1, 2022.
Flexible Work Time – Not new. This includes the compressed work time.
Reduced appointment (FTE) – Not new. This is a temporary change for a specified duration. There will be a reduction in salary and some benefits.
Temporary Off-Campus Work – New item. The 20 days are not random. It has to do with taxes being withheld and the place of residence. This policy is tracked locally in the department. This can be used in ½ day and full-day work; not 15-minute segments as other “time off” is managed. Mission critical is more about being available and attentive to work; not taking care of children because of no child-care. Highlighted paragraph is for Classified Staff only. TCP will be used for tracking time. No special notes needed but can add a note. Examples of how this might be used: covid, snow day, travel time due to appointments makes getting to work inconvenient.
Remote Work Assignment – New item. This is very similar to unclassified staff. It can be modified and revoked by Miami University at any time. Highlighted paragraph is for Classified Staff only. Vast majority of these unclassified individuals using this are a hybrid; a couple days at home and a couple days on campus. Approval of position for remote work is exactly like Unclassified Staff policy.
