Alternate Work Location Guidelines

All staff (non-faculty) requests must be submitted in Workday for routing and approval (previously approved Alternate Work Locations [AWL] arrangements and flexible work schedules must be resubmitted for consideration). To submit a request, use the Flexible Work Arrangement business process in Workday. Alternate Work Locations guidelines should be reviewed and employee/manager trainings completed prior to submitting a formal request in Workday.

An Alternate Work Locations arrangement allows employees to fulfill their job duties remotely at a location other than the traditional primary duty station (i.e., office, laboratory, etc.) affiliated with the geographic location/facility associated with any Texas A&M University property.

Alternate Work Locations Arrangements

Alternate Work Locations Types:

  1. Fully Remote Alternate Work Locations - A designation of an Alternate Work Locations which allows for employees to fulfill all their job duties from an Alternate Work Locations. This arrangement does not require the employee to report to the primary duty station and allows them to fully function in their role leveraging technology to work and communicate.
  2. Partially Remote Alternate Work Locations - A designation of an Alternate Work Locations which allows an employee to fulfill their on-site responsibilities at the assigned primary duty station while also providing flexibility to perform assigned functions from a designated work location. In this Alternate Work Locations arrangement, employees may be in an Alternate Work Locations some, most or all the work week.

Work Location Definitions:

  • Primary Duty Station - The place of employment associated with a traditional university campus facility or university owned/leased property/space serving as the worksite or physical location where employees perform work.
  • Designated Work Location - A fully remote work assignment where work duties are regularly performed as specified by employer and suitable to an AWL arrangement because of the nature of the functions and business need associated with the location of the position.
