<p class="xmsonormal" style="line-height:11.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">If remote work is feasible, our campus process requires staff to work with their supervisor(s) to define the most appropriate remote
work options that allow staff to effectively carry out their duties and responsibilities when away from campus. Most staff and their supervisors have already determined specific working arrangements for winter quarter, but we wish to encourage any staff member
who meets the above criteria, and who would like to request an adjustment to their work plan based on these conditions, to approach their immediate supervisor and discuss their situation.

<p class="xmsonormal" style="line-height:11.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">To promote consistency, supervisors should review employee requests and make recommendations to their organizational unit head (typically
a vice chancellor, associate vice chancellor, vice provost, or dean) before finalizing. Approvals are not guaranteed, may not extend beyond March 25, 2022, and should be regularly revisited by supervisors to ensure they meet the workload needs of the unit
and remain consistent with current health and safety conditions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
