Hi Julie, DAS has a statewide policy (50.050.01; see links at http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CHRO/pages/rules.aspx) that provides requirements and guidance to state agencies. DHS has a policy (http://www.dhs.state.or.us/policy/admin/hr/060_026.pdf) and Energy has a site (http://www.oregon.gov/energy/trans/pages/telework/telehm.aspx). It is likely there are many others, but I am on deadline and cannot research them all right now. Hope that helps! __________________________ Ed Arabas (503) 378-6111 From: PEARSON Julie [mailto:julie.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 10:04 AM To: ARABAS Edward P * CIO Subject: FW: [oagitm] Re: telecommuting policy?

I tested this several years ago. One of my staff needed to work from home two days a week. As part of our process we developed a test policy, reviewed it with the BOC, etc.. This person's situation was unique and she was very good at working on her own and also stayed part of the team. We did this for a couple years and it worked well. I would not recommend it as a general rule and have not tried it again. I am pretty sure the state this and rules for it.

By telecommuting I mean working from home, as opposed to remote work in the field or while traveling on business. Do you forbid it outright, tolerate it grudgingly, or encourage it? Do you have a formal policy or guidelines? Does the policy vary by worker type (e.g. exempt vs. hourly) Thanks in advance. Best regards, Mark L.
