Telecommuting

NCG Medical may offer telecommuting to some employees when we believe it would benefit both the organization and the employee. Telecommuting is the practice of working at home or a place closer to home instead of physically traveling to a central workplace. This policy outlines our policy related to telecommuting arrangements.

Your compensation, benefits, work status, work responsibilities, and the amount of time you are expected to work each day or each pay period will stay the same as before you started telecommuting (unless changes are agreed upon in writing).

You and your supervisor must agree upon your schedule. If there is no written agreement about your schedule, you will work the same schedule as before you started telecommuting. You cannot change your schedule until your supervisor approves the change.

NCG Medical has no responsibility for an injury that happens in your at-home workspace outside of the agreed-upon work hours. You must also agree to maintain safe conditions in your at-home workspace. You are expected to follow the same safety habits as working at the NCG Medical location.

If an injury happens while working at home, you must immediately report it to the immediate supervisor for instructions on getting medical treatment.

Telecommuting is an alternative method for meeting the business needs of NCG Medical. It is not a universal employee benefit. We have the right to refuse to make telecommuting available to an employee. We also may terminate an existing telecommuting arrangement at any time.
