Ithaca College

The College is committed to supporting employees in multiple ways.  With this comes an understanding that everyone’s needs are different at different times in our lives.  To help manage the various demands of work and life outside of work, the College will be implementing an enhanced Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) Policy.

This Policy includes the following flexible work arrangement types:

• Flex Time:  Work start and end times differ from the standard; however, the same number of hours/week worked are retained; schedules are consistent.
• Compressed Work Week:  Alternative schedule that compresses a normal week into fewer than five days.
• Job Sharing:  Full-time position is shared between two employees, each working part-time hours.
• Telecommuting:  Work from a remote location one or more days/week.

In general, to be eligible, the employee must be a benefits-eligible staff member who has successfully completed his/her probationary period, with a satisfactory record of performance and no disciplinary issues.  A flexible work arrangement may be considered when the arrangement works for both the employee and Ithaca College. 

Are you interested and think that a FWA will work for you and I.C.?  The Office of Human Resources is holding informational sessions for supervisors and employees who would like to learn more about Flexible Work Arrangements.
