U-M Remote Work Agreement Policy
U-M Remote Work Agreement Policy
In alignment with the University’s mission, Michigan Engineering strives to recruit and retain talented staff, leverage technology for efficiencies, embrace emerging work structures, and ensure an inclusive environment to enable staff to be their best and preserve Michigan Engineering excellence and reputation.
Michigan Engineering recognizes the importance of work-life balance, the challenges related to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, and the College’s responsibility to steward University resources and support carbon neutrality initiatives. The University of Michigan Ways We Work Implementation Group was initiated to determine high-level standards that set the rules of engagement and expectations for employees outside of the traditional office setting, resulting in the Modes of Work categorization.
Additional information can be found on University HR's Remote Employment website.

University of Michigan Remote Work Classification Matrix
The U-M Remote Work Classification Matrix defines the remote work profiles, workspace definitions, eligibility, expectations, responsibilities, and other guidelines related to telecommuting. Telecommuting is not an employee right, and any telecommuting arrangement may be changed or terminated at any time, and for any reason, by the employer. Department leadership is responsible for maintaining a staffing structure that ensures all faculty, staff, and students receive the level of support needed during regular business hours by providing appropriate on-site staffing levels to ensure staff safety and available customer support activities.

All Michigan employees participating in a Remote Work Agreement must complete the form with their department/unit leadership. The agreement must be updated each time the classification or staff permanent schedule of time on campus changes. For employees that hold more than one appointment that are eligible for telecommuting, the Remote Work Agreement will need to be completed for each appointment.
Staff should not complete the U-M Remote Work Agreement until they have confirmed their Modes of Work classification and schedule with their manager and department leadership.
The Remote Work Agreement is submitted via Wolverine Access > Remote Worker > Add Request.
