Hybrid flex

Definition/What Does It Mean

Formerly referred to as Remote Work Arrangements, the Hybrid Flex model is based on a combination of working on campus and working remotely.  Hybrid Flex may involve a fixed schedule of on campus/remote days or it may allow for more flexible scheduling based on the needs of the work, the team or the individual.  Hybrid Flex arrangements will be temporary, with an end date that is renewable, but may be reviewed or cancelled by either party with reasonable notice.

Who is it For?

Any employee may request a Hybrid Flex arrangement. The approval is at the discretion of the departmental supervisor or manager.  Student and client-facing roles and roles that require access to facilities or equipment on campus may not be suitable for remote work.

Process

Referring to the department’s established criteria for hybrid work, and the UVic Flexibility Framework principles, the employee submits a request and meets with their supervisor or manager to review the request.  Hybrid Work Arrangements will be for a fixed duration, are reviewed regularly, and may be cancelled by either party with reasonable notice (normally 30 days). Decisions are at the sole discretion of the manager/supervisor and will not be made in a manner that is arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith. Disagreements related to hybrid work may be reviewed by the senior Management Excluded leader in the faculty, program or division (Dean, Director or higher).
