1. This agreement is for a formal Remote Work agreement. The employee will work primarily from the location identified above as their remote work location. The agreement does not prevent or restrict the supervisor’s ability to require the employee to report to their permanent work assignment location as needed and with proper advanced notice; however, advanced notice is not required in an emergency as directed by the Chancellor, President, or Vice Chancellor.
   
   
2. The District’s rules and policies governing time and attendance, requesting and using leave, and expectations of performance are unchanged by this agreement. The employee must obtain supervisor approval before taking leave in accordance with District policies as if the employee was working onsite.
   
   
3. The employee will comply with all District rules and policies governing use of equipment and technology. District-provided equipment will be serviced and maintained by the District. The employee is responsible for servicing and maintaining any personal equipment, materials, and technologies provided and used by the employee for business purposes.
   
   
4. The employee must make reasonable attempts to create and maintain a safe and healthy work environment. The District may inspect the employee’s remote work location during the employee’s normal working hours to ensure proper maintenance of any District-owned property and compliance with health and safety standards. The District will provide at least a two-working-day notice prior to the inspection, except in an emergency, and the District will state the reasons for the inspection. The District agent will only visit long enough to confirm health and safety standards are being met.
   
   
5. The District shall not be liable for damages to the employee’s personal or real property during the course of performance of official duties or while using District equipment in the employee’s residence or other property, except where required by law.

The District shall not be responsible for operating expenses, home or property maintenance, or any other incidental costs (e.g. utilities) associated with the employee’s participation in the agreement. The employee shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement for authorized travel and expenses while conducting business as assigned by the District per the District’s reimbursement policies.
   
   
7. Injuries occurring while the employee is in a paid working status and performing assigned work shall be subject to worker’s compensation laws and regulations the same as work performed at a District owned and operated facility.
   
   
8. The employee shall comply with all District policies and standards for safeguarding and protecting any confidential business information, personally-identifiable information, and all other sensitive information they possess. The employee shall ensure confidential, personally-identifiable, and all other sensitive information discussed via any form of communication is conducted in a manner consistent with District policies and procedures and protects the information from unauthorized disclosure to the maximum extent possible. The supervisor and employee will discuss the safeguards and protections in place and to be used by the employee.
