Remote Hybrid and Virtual Work

Remote Work   Nursing Faculty

  1. Eligible faculty members must have a clinical assignment that is longer than 8 hours per day.   
  2. Faculty instructor must have completed at least one year of full-time teaching with Donnelly College Nursing.  
  3. Faculty instructor must have a satisfactory 90-day evaluation by the Director prior to working remotely.  
  4. The faculty member must be present for 8 hours a day on campus (unless they are teaching a clinical assignment) on the dates they are working on-site (example, faculty member works 8:00 am-4:30 pm with a 30-minute lunch break).  
  5. In-office and remote schedule must be consistent throughout the semester (example, remote work every Tuesday during the semester).  
  6. Faculty are expected to attend faculty meetings and other required faculty events in person, even if these events fall on a remote working day.   
  7. Faculty instructor must be available and responsive when they are working remotely (for example, respond to emails within 2 hours).   
  8. Remote working is not designed to be a replacement for appropriate childcare, nor should it be used to pursue other personal matters (such as volunteer work, attending classes or other business ventures) during work times.  
  9. Remote work is limited to one day a week.  
  10. Adjusted flex hours should be deducted from an 8-hour remote working day (for example, the faculty member has 3 flex hours for an 11-hour clinical day, so the faculty member would work 5 hours during the remote day).   
  11. At any time, the Director may suspend or terminate the remote working agreement. Reasons for this may include: faculty member not completing work in a timely manner; faculty member not have sufficient availability for students, faculty or staff; faculty member not completing quality work; faculty member not effectively communicating with stakeholders; faculty member not contributing to non-teaching needs of Donnelly Nursing; faculty member absence causes increased workload for those faculty members or staff in the office.  
  12. The Director of Nursing must approve the remote plan at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester.
