FLEX WORK ARRANGEMENTS

Flexible (flex) work arrangements (Policy 7.3) may permit eligible FAU employees to fulfill the established duties and responsibilities of their positions through alternative schedules or work locations, differing from the traditional on-campus workday and workweek. Carefully planned flexible work arrangements can have many benefits, including increased productivity, competitive recruitment, and retention, improved environmental sustainability and effective space utilization, and streamlined financial efficiency. These benefits aid the University with maintaining vibrant campuses and sites with effective staffing to support à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and other key University constituencies.Ìý

Flexible Work Arrangements are available to all non-temporary staff, including Executive Service; Administrative, Managerial and Professional (AMP); and Support Personnel.Ìý In-Unit Faculty, Adjuncts, and OPS/temporary employees are not eligible for a flexible work arrangement.

Flexible Work Arrangement	A schedule that falls outside of the unit’s usual schedule. Flextime work arrangements are not the same as an occasional need for flexibility and employees must be present at their University Workplace during specific timeframes set by the unit. A Flextime Work Arrangement must require 100% of an employee’s weekly schedule to be on campus.
Flexible Work Agreement	A document that memorializes/establishes the terms of a flexible work arrangement. Requests for a FWA must be submitted and reviewed every 6 months. The President, or their designee, will consider the Vice-President/Dean’s recommendation and has final decision-making authority to approve or deny FWA requests.
Good Standing	An employee who is not on a probationary period, has not received a notice of separation, is not currently on a Performance Improvement Plan, has not received less than a 3-Good on their last evaluation, and has not received a notice of discipline in the preceding two (2) calendar years.Ìý
Hybrid Work Arrangement	A work arrangement in which the employee’s work occurs no less than 80% at the employee’s University Workplace on campus and no more than 20% from an off-campus location. Hybrid work arrangements require justification based on extraordinary circumstances.
