CALS Remote Work Expectations and Guidance
CALS leadership Remote Work Expectations and Guidance for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year will be effective September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024. This guidance will continue to support a hybrid workplace environment for faculty and staff, while supporting the overall goals and mission of the college and UW-Madison as whole.
The Remote Work Expectations and Guidance will continue to allow CALS departments and centers and their supervisors the ability to determine what level of flexibility will meet the needs of their units to continue operations. We ask that each department or unit in the college continue to follow their approved philosophy on remote work. If revisions to the philosophy statement are needed, please submit changes to veronica.law@wisc.edu.
The deadline to submit the new Remote Work Agreement form for the Academic Year 2023-2024 is August 14, 2023.
Employees may seek reasonable accommodations by contacting CALS HR DDR mailbox if an employee’s medical condition(s) may be better managed with an alternative work location arrangement. Non-recurring flexibilities to employee schedules (for dentist appointments, etc.) may be discussed directly with a supervisor.
The CALS Remote Work Expectations and Guidance will be reviewed each spring (prior to annual parking deadlines) for the next academic year with an effective date at the start of the academic year.
Please note that CALS continues to expect most job responsibilities to be carried out primarily on‐site and that all departments/units consider equitable application of the UW-Madison Remote Work Policy.
