Flexible Work Arrangement

At the UNT System, we believe that work is what you do, not necessarily where you go each day. In support of that philosophy, UNT System offers Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA).

What are Flexible Work Arrangements?

Flexible Work Arrangements allow staff to have different work schedules and/or work from a location other than their office or cubicle, when appropriate and as approved by their supervisor(s).

There are three types of Flexible Work Arrangements:

  • Flex Time: Work 40 hours a week, but not necessarily Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.  This may look like coming in early, leaving early, etc. Flex time also applies to part-time employees.
  • Compressed Workweek: Work extending daily hours to take a portion of a day or a full day off during the work period. This may look like four 10-hour days per week, 9-hour days for one day off every other week, etc.
  • Remote Work: Working remotely from a pre-approved location other than your office.

Out-of-State Employment

Employees who work outside of Texas are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate authorization to work outside of Texas and their W-4 reflects the state they work from.  All employees are encouraged to check their paystubs to verify their state income tax withholding, if applicable, is accurate.

Flexible Work Arrangement Training (REQUIRED)

Employees are required to complete ONE training course related to developing flexible work arrangements specific to remote work to ensure understanding of mutual responsibilities before employees can submit a flexible work arrangement schedule for review and approval. Supervisors are required to complete ONE training course related to developing flexible work arrangements specific to remote work before supervisors can approve any positions for consideration of such arrangements.

Both employee and supervisor must complete the training before the flexible work arrangement can be negotiated.

Training is offered online only.  Once you have completed the appropriate training course, the employee requesting the flexible work arrangement should click on the appropriate campus form to begin the approval process.
