Employees must be in good standing and not subject to a performance improvement plan to be eligible. Employee compensation and benefits are not affected by the remote work schedule. Non-exempt employees may not work overtime from a remote location without prior approval from their Manager. The remote work schedule may be discontinued at any time by the Organization. HOURS AND AVAILABILITY Eligible employees who utilize a remote work schedule must be in office a minimum of 3 days per week. Employees are expected to align their in-office schedule with the needs and demands of your team and your clients. Business needs may require more than 3 days in office per week. Remote days are not guaranteed. The Company’s core business hours are from 8am and 5pm. All employees working remotely must be available during business hours unless otherwise arranged with your Manager on a case-by-case basis. Time when the Employee is unavailable must be posted on their Outlook Calendar. Employees must attend in person business meetings as necessary and required and meet all business requirements and client expectations. This may lessen the number of days working from home. Employees need to be in the office for the full business day on the days they are not working remotely. If at any time, Management determines the remote work arrangement is no longer viable based upon performance or other business circumstances, the availability of remote work as an option may be modified or rescinded. RESPONSIBILITIES Employees working remotely must: Be able to perform their normal job duties and service clients without distraction. Adhere to all LHD policies, procedures, professional standards of conduct and best practices. Maintain a designated and safe remote work area.
