The Superintendent-President is adopting this procedure in recognition of the changing dynamics of the work environment to provide for the well-being of employees by enacting a framework that allows employees to have variability in their work reporting location, including remote work reporting location, while advancing the mission of Barstow Community College. This policy applies to classified, confidential, and management employees. Policies regarding remote work assignments for faculty can be found in the Barstow College Faculty Association Agreement. Remote work assignments for faculty are outlined in the BCFA Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Eligibility
Full-time and/or permanent District employees in positions where one or more essential functions can be performed remotely may be eligible for a Remote Work assignment, pending approval as outlined below. This policy does not prevent the district from offering remote work arrangements to other individuals on a case-by-case basis.
- Employees with an unpaid financial debt to the District must have a repayment plan on file with the District in order to be eligible.
- Employee’s current job performance, including attendance and disciplinary records, and any current performance improvement plans must be at a satisfactory level.
- Employees must not be on leave of absence.
- Employees must have a California address on file.
Application Process for Remote Work Assignments
Employees may request a remote work assignment at any time and a manager has up to fifteen workdays to respond. For an arrangement other than Temporary Remote Work, the employee must complete the employee-portion of the Remote Work Agreement and email it to their direct supervisor for the employee’s request to be considered. Requests for full remote work must also be approved by the appropriate Vice President. Classified professionals are encouraged to copy their union representative on their emailed remote work requests. All complete Remote Work Request should be sent to Human Resources at hr@barstow.edu.
