Decision-making

On-site, flexible, and off-site work categories are governed by the On-Site and Structured Flexible Work policy, effective Jan. 1, 2026. The policy provides broad parameters and designates each control point — schools and vice chancellor-led units — to decide whether to classify a worker as on-site, flexible or fully off-site for their work.
