I assume the core working hours idea is trying to accommodate parental responsibilities.  Regardless, I hope you don’t expect me to regularly attend 3pm *ET* meetings :). Core hours could potentially exacerbate the 6 hour time difference, 10 am ET is 4pm CET and it’s not like there isn’t already contention for those meeting times.  Somehow the need to retain good communication needs to be added to avoid creating an expectation that the supervisor will have to shatter, same for the compressed variant (you can’t take Fridays off because that’s the day of the group meeting).  I see the benefit of formalising non-standard hours for clarity (maybe they could be made known to everyone in the group), but I don’t see how to do better than discussing this on a case by case basis with the supervisor.

Hi,

For your info and comments. It generally seems pretty reasonable to me, although

• the compressed and core work variants are interesting, but I’d have a hard time accepting that a person X is not available for a regular 3pm Monday meeting because they are finished work at 3pm or they don’t work on Mondays, for example
• item 2 about underperformers during covid I find a little odd, because it’s missing the obvious option, to not agree to telework (I don’t think NPPS has any such cases though)

Dear Physics Department Supervisors,

 

Our team has put together guidance for supervisors throughout the NPP Directorate who will be evaluating telework and remote work requests. We hope this will be helpful. This guidance is meant to be practical and help ensure equity and consistency in the implementation of the Lab’s teleworking policy. We have drafted this guidance after consultation with leaders throughout both C-A and Physics. Please review the attachment and feel free to respond with any questions and/or feedback.

 

Lee Hammons, DCOO, C-AD, NPP

Firoza Zanoni, DDCOO, Physics, NPP

Caitlin Hoffman, Staff Specialist, C-AD

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

Firoza Zanoni
