University of Maine System Remote Work Guidelines

Your University of Maine System Office of Human Resources, working in collaboration with our partners in the collective bargaining units, developed a set of Remote Work Guidelines and materials to assist employees and supervisors.

These include:

  • Questions for you and your supervisor/manager to consider in exploring alternative work arrangements
  • Updated guidance on remote work within the University of Maine System
  • Remote Work Agreement
  • Guidance from Safety Management on how best to explore a safe and productive alternative workplace

These guidelines are explained in detail below.
