HR Policy Review Discussion and Feedback (Draft Forms Attached)
o Telecommuting
What about people that already telecommute or have regional jobs?
Will there be flexibility for those who have children in the school system but have to go to online
instruction for those children or for other reasons?
Will this be a permanent policy or just during COVID?
Can you only work from home if you work at the University for a certain number of years?
Section E part 2 seems interesting when deciding who will be allowed to work remotely.
Is there a timeline? Once the request is submitted how long until the employees knows if the
telecommute is approved or denied?
o Community Health Requirements.
How will visitors be informed of this policy?
o COVID-19 Personal and Community Safety Requirements What defined as private work area? #4
How are we enforcing non-compliance?
How do people who have exemptions "prove" that when outside their department? Especially
since that, proof would technically be a violation of HIPPA, correct?
I would also like to ask for more information on how the university plans to perform contact
tracing.
o Forward Falcon Commitment
When will students/faculty sign this policy? What if they don't sign?
How is the University tracking this?
I think they should clarify the symptoms. Some people live with headaches almost daily. I'm not
going to email every time I have a headache.

3341-5-xx Telecommuting
Applicability
All University Units
Responsible
Unit
Office of Human Resources
Policy
Administrator
Chief Human Resources Officer
(A) Policy Statement and Purpose
Bowling Green State University wishes to maintain an efficient and
effective work environment that provides flexibility and meets the needs of
attracting and retaining a diverse and talented workforce. When
appropriate, telecommuting can further those goals. The purpose of this
policy is to identify positions that are appropriate for telecommuting and
establish procedures for evaluation of telecommuting requests and
proposals. To the extent specified, this policy also applies to telecommuting
that is required by the university.
(B) Policy Scope
Employee-requested telecommuting may apply to any University
employment position unless the Office of Human Resources, in consultation
with the employing department or unit, has identified the position as not
eligible for telecommuting.
University-required telecommuting may apply to any University
employment position.
(C) Definitions and Expectations
“Telecommuting” refers to an arrangement where an employee works from
home, or from another location away from campus, as the employee’s
assigned workplace location. Depending on the details of the arrangement,
telecommuting constitutes a temporary or permanent reassignment for
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 2
either a portion of the employee’s work time or all of it. An employee’s job
classification, compensation, and benefits will not change if the employee
is approved for telecommuting.
The job duties and responsibilities of a telecommuting employee remain the
same as if the employee were working at a BGSU campus work location.
The employee will be required to adhere to the BGSU-specified
performance standards for their position and will continue to comply with
federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and BGSU policies and
procedures while telecommuting.
Work hours and leave benefits do not change as a result of telecommuting.
Requests to use leave must be approved by BGSU in the same manner as
when working at a BGSU campus work location. Unless otherwise
specified in writing by the employee’s supervisor, telecommuting work
hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for BGSU-
observed holidays and hours of approved leave.
A telecommuting employee will come to the BGSU campus as requested
for meetings, project reviews, or other business purposes. BGSU will seek
to designate certain times or events when the employee is expected to be on
campus and to give adequate notice when those expectations change.
Nonetheless, the employee’s supervisor may require the employee to report
to their BGSU campus work location at any time.
A telecommuting employee accepts responsibility for maintaining the
security, condition, and confidentiality of all work-related data, documents,
and other materials kept at their off-campus workplace or stored on
electronic equipment. Work-related data, documents, or other materials that
are stored on personal electronic equipment are subject to Ohio public
records law and to review and retrieval by BGSU.
At the end of the telecommuting arrangement, or if the employee ceases
employment with BGSU, the employee must return all BGSU equipment,
supplies, and work-related data, documents, and other materials to BGSU
within three working days unless otherwise specified in writing by BGSU.
(D) Confidential Information
While telecommuting, an employee may receive work-related data,
documents, or other materials protected by the Family Educational Rights
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 3
and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), or other state
or federal privacy laws or regulations. Those items will be considered
“Confidential Information” for purposes of this policy.
(1) The employee will hold all Confidential Information in strict
confidence. The employee will not use or disclose Confidential
Information except as required to perform their job duties.
(2) The employee will protect all Confidential Information according to
commercially reasonable standards and use appropriate administrative,
technical, and physical security measures to preserve the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of all Confidential Information.
(3) In the event of an actual or suspected breach of security, the employee
will promptly notify their supervisor and Information Technology
Services.
(4) The employee will not store, communicate, transport, or process
Confidential Information on any personally-owned media, device, or
computer except as allowed by Policy 3341-6-39.
(E) Policy for Classified and Administrative Staff Positions
(1) Identifying a Position as Appropriate for Telecommuting
Supervisors, in consultation with the Office of Human Resources, will
analyze the nature of a position and how work is performed and determine
which positions are appropriate to designate or approve for telecommuting.
Many factors should be considered in determining the feasibility of
telecommuting, including the congruence of telecommuting with the
University’s mission and goals, the ability to supervise the employee
adequately, and whether any duties require use of certain equipment or tools
that cannot be accommodated at a location other than BGSU. Other
important considerations include:
(a) The extent to which job duties involve face-to-face interaction
and coordination of work with other employees and students;
(b) The need for and frequency of in-person interactions with
outside colleagues, clients and customers;
(c) What access to on-campus resources will be needed to
effectively perform the work;
(d) Whether service quality or university operations or workload of
others will be impacted;
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 4
(e) Whether the position can be performed independently based on
the level of support and face-to-face interaction needed; and
(f) Whether performance can be assessed accurately using (e.g.,
quantitative or qualitative results-oriented standards) and
working hours appropriately documented.
(2) Identifying an Employee as Eligible for Telecommuting
In addition to assessing the position’s appropriateness for telecommuting,
the employee also must be eligible, as determined by their supervisor or
division head (or designee) in consultation with the Office of Human
Resources. In considering whether to approve an employee for
telecommuting, the university will consider:
(a) Length of time in position;
(b) Disciplinary actions on file;
(c) Demonstrated ability to work productively (as shown by
consistent and satisfactory performance of essential functions);
(d) Evaluations in the previous evaluation cycle;
(e) The circumstances or rationale provided for consideration of
telecommuting.
(3) Telecommuting Request and Approval
As outlined above, not all employees and not all jobs are suited for
telecommuting. An employee interested in telecommuting may present a
written request to their supervisor, identifying the reason for and the
duration of telecommuting. Alternatively, the supervisor or another
manager may initiate a telecommuting request.
Each telecommuting request will be reviewed by the supervisor or division
head with the Office of Human Resources to determine if the telecommuting
request (as originally made or as modified during the review process) is
consistent with this policy.
The approval or disapproval of a telecommuting request will be documented
in writing (email is permissible) by the employee’s supervisor or division
head and the Office of Human Resources.
A telecommuting arrangement typically will be for one year or less and will
expire at the end of that term. Renewal is possible but not guaranteed;
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 5
employee performance, business operations, rotation of telecommuting
opportunities, and other circumstances will be considered in determining
whether to renew the agreement. The renewal or non-renewal of a
telecommuting arrangement will be documented in writing (email is
permissible) by the employee’s supervisor or division head and the Office
of Human Resources.
(4) Modification or Early Termination of Telecommuting
A supervisor or division head, in consultation with the Office of Human
Resources, may modify or terminate a telecommuting arrangement for
performance concerns, changes in operational needs, or other non-
discriminatory reasons. To the extent practicable, notice will be provided
two weeks before the modification or termination.
Except when telecommuting is required by the university, an employee may
request to terminate the telecommuting arrangement and return to on-
campus work at any time.
(F) Technology Requirements
(1) University Laptops
The university will make sure that each employee who enters into an
approved telecommuting arrangement has a University-issued laptop as
their primary device. Information Technology Services (ITS) will provide
remote support only. If an issue arises where a technician physically needs
to work on the device, the employee is responsible for bringing the device
back to their campus for ITS service.
(a) If the employee currently has a University-issued laptop as
their primary device, then the employee will be required to use that
device at both BGSU and their alternate location; an additional
laptop device will not be provided for an employee to leave at their
alternate location or in their office.
(b) If the employee currently has a University-issued desktop as
their primary device, the employee will be required to switch to an
equivalent model year laptop as their primary device and return the
desktop to ITS at no cost to the employee’s department. If ITS must
provide a new laptop, the employee’s department is responsible for
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 6
the cost of the upgrade, unless it occurs as part of a planned
employee device upgrade program.
(c) The university will provide a VPN connection for the
employee to use on their University-issued laptop when working
remotely to ensure data privacy and security.
(2) Worksite Requirements
An employee who has requested to telecommute is ultimately responsible
for ensuring that they can perform their job responsibilities while working
remotely. In order to enter into a telecommuting arrangement, an employee
who has requested to telecommute must ensure the off-campus worksite
meets the following requirements:
(a) The worksite must have adequate broadband internet access to
allow remote work. The employee is responsible, at their own
cost, for the purchase, setup and installation, support, and
maintenance of internet service at their off-campus location.
Employees who work 75% time or more away from campus
should have at least 50 Mbps connection from their ISP for
software updates and automated backups. Service will degrade
below this level.
(b) While working remotely, the employee is responsible for
making the changes needed to receive phone calls made to their
university extension. Any associated costs are the responsibility
of the employee or their department or unit.
(c) The employee or their department or unit is responsible for the
purchase, installation, support, and maintenance of any
additional accessories needed to telecommute (monitor, printer,
keyboard, mouse, etc.)
(d) The employee is responsible for ensuring that they have a safe,
secure, and functional remote work environment.
(e) Due to the dynamic nature of information technology, additional
requirements may arise. Please visit the ITS website to review
current considerations for telecommuting.
3341-5-xx (DRAFT) 7
If telecommuting is required by the University, the foregoing requirements
and responsibilities may be revisited to ascertain how University can best
facilitate remote functionality.
(G) Exceptions
(1) Faculty Telecommuting
It is an accepted practice for teaching and research faculty to carry out their
work with varied schedules on campus and elsewhere. Unless required by
the responsible Dean, Section (E) of this policy will not apply to faculty.
(2) University-Required Telecommuting
A department may determine that employees need to work off campus for
a short period of time to accommodate unusual circumstances, such as a
brief office closing for renovations or relocation.
In addition, the University may establish telecommuting as a condition of
offered employment or mandate telecommuting due to public health
emergencies or other circumstances as determined by the President or
designee.
In such cases, Section (E) of this policy will not apply.
(3) Telecommuting for Health-Related Reasons
An employee may request telecommuting as an alternative work
arrangement when the employee or a member of their household is,
according to the CDC definition, is at higher risk for severe illness from
COVID-19. The University will establish a separate operating procedure
for handling those requests.
An employee with a documented disability may request telecommuting as
a reasonable accommodation to enable an employee to perform their
essential job functions. Those requests will be handled by Accessibility
Services in accordance with its usual procedures.
In such cases, Section (E) of this policy will not apply.
