The document outlines the County Telework Guidelines, emphasizing that telework is an arrangement where an employee works from home for a specified time. It clarifies that telework is not a right but a voluntary agreement between the department and the employee. Eligibility for telework is determined by each department based on job duties and performance considerations. It highlights the importance of loyalty to disaster service activities and the need for employees to report to the County worksite as required. Teleworking employees should be treated equitably in terms of performance management and opportunities. Managers should monitor and assess employee performance based on work output. Permanent full-time telework is not allowed due to the benefits of in-person workplace interactions. IT and cybersecurity measures are crucial for teleworkers, including using VPN connections and following best practices for data security. Records retention and security are emphasized, with employees responsible for protecting County information. Training for managers/supervisors and employees on teleworking is required, along with regular reviews of telework agreements. Resources for teleworking are available online for both managers/supervisors and employees.
