With summer travel approaching, employees — including those faculty on 9-month appointments — are reminded that university policy requires prior approval for international remote work. International remote work — which means working outside the United States for a period of 22 consecutive days or more — includes a wide range of activities, from performing your usual university responsibilities to simply accessing university systems (e.g., email, Banner, Blackboard, etc.) and servers intermittently.
Due to heightened security risks and the complexity of foreign labor and immigration laws, these arrangements are only approved in extraordinary circumstances. Requests must be reviewed not only by your supervisor but also by additional university stakeholders. All requests for international remote work must be submitted using the university’s Remote Work Request Form. For more information, please review the University’s Remote Work Guidance webpage or contact your division’s HR Business Partner.
