TEMPORARY TELECOMMUTE AGREEMENT
I unders
tand and agree to the following terms and conditions:
The temporary telecommute policy is in effect for the duration of the Local Emergency, which is currently in
effect through May 10, 2020.
My manager/supervisor has the authority to discontinue this Telecommuting Agreement at any time.
I must regularly demonstrate the ability to work independently, communicate regularly and effectively with my
manager/supervisor and other employees, and maintain a high degree of self-motivation.
My manager/supervisor will provide performance expectations associated with this telecommuting
arrangement. I must meet these expectations along with all other expectations for the Telecommuting
Agreement to continue.
I can provide a work environment that is free of interruptions and distractions.
I am expected to devote the same time and attention to work at a telecommuting site as I would devote if the
work were performed at a City of Oakland facility.
My telecommuting worksite is safe and healthy, free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause serious
injury or death.
If I use a home computer to create or store work-related documents, I will ensure those documents are kept
safe and confidential.
I will not share my work-related documents, passwords, etc. with anyone not authorized to receive them.
It is expected that employees will not need to store work-related documents on a home computer. However, if
I use a home computer to create or store work-related documents, I will comply with records retention policies
related to those work documents and fully cooperate in the production of public records requested under state
law. This obligation shall survive the expiration of this Temporary Telecommuting Agreement and/or my
separation from employment with the City.
Should workplace documents stored on my home computer become subject to production for any reason, I will
fully cooperate with the City of Oakland in producing documents or other lawful requests. This obligation shall
survive the expiration of this Telecommuting Agreement and/or my separation from employment with the City.
I have no entitlement to telecommute and I do not acquire such a right by being provided the opportunity to
telecommute for any period of time.
I cannot grieve the decision of my manager/supervisor to not grant, not renew, or revoke the opportunity to
telecommute.
I have read, understood, and agree to the above Temporary Telecommuting Agreement terms and conditions. I
understand and accept the performance expectations and rules identified by my manager/supervisor. Questions about
this Telecommuting Agreement and arrangements should be directed to my supervisor. I will abide by the City of
Oakland’s Temporary Telecommuting Policy or applicable collective bargaining agreement provision. My signature
