Maintain Telework Data in HRS
Overview:
The Telework functionality in HRS can be used to track jobs, positions and workers that are allowed to work remotely. It allows tracking remote worker status by Job/employee record, in the event that employees with multiple jobs are eligible to work remotely in one job but not the other(s).Process Considerations:
- You may use the Telework features to do the following:
- Capture the start date and end date of when employees will be working remotely
- Track part-time remote work, including the number of days per week and average days per month
- Capture an employee's actual remote work location and address. Multiple locations may be tracked if necessary
- Identify if remote work is a result of a temporary or permanent disability
- Capture any formal remote work agreement in place between the organization, manager and employee
- Define specific job codes, positions and/or locations that qualify for remote work
- A new row is required for each calendar year, typically with yearly review of telework agreement
- Security to Add/Update is given to UW_UNV_HR_ADMINISTRATOR role
