Does the institution offer a tele-commute program for employees?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:

LMU currently administers a pilot program for telecommuting. The Information Technology Services department has worked under this program for a few years now. Below is a brief description about the program.

LMU considers telecommuting to be a viable work option in certain circumstances which, when properly implemented and administered, benefit both the University and the telecommuter. Telecommuting does not change the basic terms and conditions of employment with the University. All University employees, including telecommuters, are subject to the University’s employment policies and procedures.

DEFINITIONS:

“Telecommuting” is the substitution of telecommunication technologies, including, but not limited to, telephones, facsimile machines, computers, electronic mail, and modems for travel to the University’s offices. Telecommuting is not a right, but rather, a privilege which may be granted at management’s sole discretion to high performing individuals whose duties are suited to such an arrangement. Telecommuting is voluntary. Employees will not be required to telecommute.

“Telecommuters” are employees who work for the University from a home, or other remote office, for some part of the regularly scheduled workweek.
