ORED leadership continues to believe that the majority of our time should be spent working on-campus to best serve the needs of the university. Unless a staff member has received approval for unique circumstances, the expectation is that at least 50% of work time is expected to occur on-campus.
Please keep in mind the flexibility offered by an Alternate Work Site (AWS) agreement is a privilege and should be treated as such. If individuals or teams have not been successful under their current AWS arrangements, ORED has the authority to decline an ongoing AWS arrangement or request revisions.
Employees wishing to renew or start a new AWS agreement can utilize this link https://go.unl.edu/ored_aws_form to complete the form and start the routing. If the AWS is approved by ORED leadership, you will be giving directions to complete an AWS agreement in Firefly.
New or significantly revised AWS requests will continue to be received and reviewed on a rolling basis for a period of up to six months. AWS requests will be reviewed by leadership to ensure equity across our organization.
