E. Ridgewater College equipment located at my remote work site is subject to all policies and restrictions
related to use of state-owned property. I am responsible for any and all equipment and software that is
used at the remote work site, and I accept financial responsibility for any equipment that is lost, stolen or

I print protected student or employee information (PSEI) at my remote work site, I will ensure that all
materials will be shredded appropriately. I will contact my supervisor immediately if private data is
exposed.

receive state compensatory time while teleworking, and I must obtain supervisory approval before taking
leave.
