This guide is designed to facilitate the determination of appropriate work arrangements that ensure effective execution of each position’s duties and responsibilities toward achieving the Lab’s mission while providing individual flexibility when appropriate for the work and individual work-life balance. Each supervisor must determine and document which of the four available work arrangements is appropriate for the work being done (Full-Time On-Site Work, Hybrid Work, Telework, or Remote Work). Once this is determined, the supervisor must enter an approved work mode into the Work Mode Assignment Tool to document the work mode. Instructions for how to use the Work Mode Assignment Tool can be found in Flexible Work Resources.
