The first step in initiating a flexible work arrangement is to talk to your supervisor.

You can begin the conversation by discussing your proposed schedule, work location, start and end dates, and technology needs. Colleges and administrative units are responsible for determining which jobs are eligible for remote or hybrid work, alternative schedules, and other types of flexibility.

What type of flexibility do you need?

Intermittent flexibility

This option is intended to meet day-to-day needs for remote work such as inclement weather, medical appointments, childcare constraints, and more.

Remote work in Iowa

This option is intended for employees who can effectively perform their job duties off campus. Out-of-state arrangements may have implications for taxes, benefits, and more.

Flexible schedule

Employees who want to work non-standard hours, but do not change the total number of hours they work per week, could benefit from an alternate schedule.

Remote work outside of Iowa

Faculty and staff who have a significant business reason to perform their work outside of Iowa for more than 30 consecutive days may request to work remotely.

Hybrid work

Employees who can effectively perform their job duties with a combination of on- and off-campus work may qualify. Hybrid employees typically spend 2-3 days per week off campus.

Remote work outside the United States

This option is intended for employees who have a significant business reason to work outside the U.S. for more than 14 consecutive days.
