What is remote work at Kenyon College?

Remote work allows employees to work at home or in a satellite location for all or part of their workweek. Kenyon College considers remote work to be a viable, flexible work option when both the employee and the position are suited to such an arrangement. This policy is intended to address regular remote work arrangements, not occasional instances, such as working from home for a day or two due to inclement weather or other temporary circumstances with supervisory permission. The ability to work remotely is a privilege, not an entitlement and is granted at the sole discretion of Kenyon College. Remote work arrangements must not adversely affect departmental operations or productivity. The determination of whether an employee is eligible to participate will be made between the supervisor and the employee in accordance with this policy. The employee working remotely must comply with all College and departmental policies and procedures. The compensation, benefits, work status, work responsibilities, and all other conditions of employment with Kenyon College remain the same for employees working remotely.

What is required to work remotely at Kenyon?

The employee must establish an appropriate and safe work environment. Employees working remotely are expected to ensure the needs for information security are met and that Kenyon College property and data is secured as well as it would be when working at their regular Kenyon location. The College assumes no responsibility for the remote worker’s expenses for the space used. The employee and department will work together to determine whether an employee has the appropriate equipment and access necessary to perform the job. Generally remote workers will be authorized to use Kenyon equipment (monitors, computer, etc.) in their remote work space. Kenyon will not supply duplicate equipment for remote work spaces. Kenyon reserves the right to require that employees working remotely use Kenyon supplied computers. Kenyon does not provide assistance with the set-up of a remote office. Injuries sustained by the employee working remotely in conjunction with their regular work duties and hours would normally be covered by Worker’s Compensation insurance. Remote workers are responsible for notifying the supervisor of such injuries in accordance with procedures to report a work-related injury as described on the Human Resources website. Kenyon does not provide advice or assistance determining the tax-deductibility of home offices for employees.

How long does it take to terminate a remote work arrangement?

Where practicable, a minimum of two business weeks should be given before a remote work arrangement is terminated.

Can you work remotely?

Not all positions are suitable for working remotely either full-time or part-time. The supervisor will review the position description with the employee to determine the suitability of the position for working remotely. Jobs that require independent work and little in person interaction are best suited for remote work. Other factors that may be considered when reviewing a position include, without limitation: potential impact on co-workers; whether the employee works with restricted data; financial implications to the department; and consistency with other requests. Working remotely is not to be used as a substitute for leave for personal needs or dependent care. Approval for remote work requests will be based on the job duties and requirements and requests will be considered equally based on that criteria.
