Flex Work

Flexible work arrangements are any arrangements that provide a faculty or staff member alternatives to working regularly scheduled hours in the office or typical work location. Flexibility can be accomplished without changing a department’s regular hours of operation or altering the responsibility or authority of supervisors.

Learn more about flexible work arrangements, and associated trainings and forms on the UM System Flexible Work Arrangements webpage. Policy information is available in HR Policy Manual HR-522 Telework Arrangements and its corresponding HR-522 Q&A.
