If your request is disapproved, discuss your concerns with your supervisor. The denial may be due to departmental requirements or other factors. Note that the grievance procedure doesn’t apply to RWA denials, as remote work arrangements are considered special arrangements.
As a leader, when you review an RWA, you should discuss the arrangement with your employee. You can use tools from the Performance at IU program to guide these conversations. Your review should assess whether the arrangement is effective, meets your unit’s operational needs, and doesn’t negatively impact the employee’s performance.
After you complete your review:
- If no changes are needed, you don’t need to take any action in the RWA System.
- If changes are necessary, instruct your employee to update the RWA in the system and submit it to you for approval.
