Telecommuting Policy

San José State University supports telecommuting when the campus determines that telecommuting is in its best interest.  Such instances for telecommuting work arrangements may be considered when there are opportunities for improved operational performance, reduced commuting miles, as part of a disaster recovery or emergency plan, or to facilitate the potential for University savings.

As a flexible work arrangement, telecommuting allows an employee the ability to achieve a balance between work responsibilities and family life.  San José State University recognizes that with current communication technology, it is possible for some employees to perform a variety of duties and job functions from their homes or other equipped sites, and it is a way for the campus to meet the needs of a changing workforce.
