SUNY’s Workplace Flexibility and Telecommuting policy is to support telecommuting where it is reasonable to do so based on the University’s mission, operational, and program needs. These guidelines are the basis for a telecommuting program that is beneficial to University operations, employees, and students.
This program’s purpose is to support implementation of telecommuting programs, where desired, establish guidelines designed to clearly articulate employee and campus expectations, and provide an additional vehicle for employee development while offering campus management the flexibility to operate a successful telecommuting program and plan for future workforce needs. Every application will be considered on an individual basis.
