Reminder that all Covid-19 related telework/remote work arrangements will end June 30, 2021. Per the directive from the leadership at GHC telework/remote arrangements may be approved on a defined basis and after approval from the VP of the Division and HR.  It is important to note that while the institution may institute telework/remote work options that at any point in time these can be withdrawn for an individual, department or college as a whole.  Should the arrangement be revoked it is expected that the individual will return to their respective campus and continue their position responsibilities.

Pursuant to USG policy, department heads or their designees have the authority to establish teleworking arrangements. In no circumstance should telework be considered an employee right or entitlement. All telework requests and designations are based upon management discretion and in accordance with determination of what best serves the institution and students.

Note: Remote work on Fridays will remain in effect.
