The University is willing to consider the following models of homeworking, depending on the circumstances of the role and operational requirements.
Occasional homeworking. Applies to employees who, with the approval of their line manager, work
at
home on an occasional and ad hoc basis (i.e. where there is no agreed pattern of homeworking), even though their contract of employment requires them to be based at Oxford Brookes University.
Regular homeworking. Applies to employees who have a regularly pattern of working at home agreed with their line manager (e.g. once a week or once a month) even though their contract of employment requires them to be based at Oxford Brookes University.
Designated homeworking. Applies to employees who work
from
home (their office is based in their home) even though they may work other than at home for part of their working hours. Becoming a designated homeworker involves a change in the contract of employment to reflect the new work location.
