Hi Jen, As you note in your listing of all the parameters an organization has to considered for this category of employees, it can seem onerous (and scary) but with a good policy you can corral the issues. For Indiana University, there are employees who don't work in a traditional office, or in fact live in different states (not necessarily adjacent ones either). I suggest you start here for more policy background: http://hr.iu.edu/relations/telecommute.html
Best, T. Michael Ford Indiana University From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rogers, Jen Sent: Monday, October 27, 2014 10:41 AM To: Institutional policy-related discussions Subject: [acupa-l] Employees Living/Working Outside Institution's Home State Happy Monday, ACUPA Members: I just received endorsement from President's Cabinet to proceed with the development of a policy addressing employees who live and subsequently work for UND outside the state of North Dakota. Due to potential issues such as termination pay, overtime, direct deposit requirements, minimum wage rates, new hire reporting, paid leave, new-hire background checks, withholding taxes, state unemployment insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and state registration issues, it is vital that requests to allow employees to live and work outside North Dakota are carefully reviewed and approved in advance to avoid potential liability issues for UND. Is your institution dealing with the same issue and if so, have you addressed it through policy? Any feedback or examples would be greatly appreciated.
