SECTION 144.1: TEMPORARY CHANGE OF WORK LOCATION
SOURCE: NDSU President
- Employees may be required to change their work location out of state for
extended periods of time for various reasons, such as research, etc. Change
of location occurs when an employee will be out of state for an extended period
of time for the specific purpose of performing work within the scope of the
employee's duties. "Extended period" means for longer than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
- To ensure proper Worker's Compensation coverage, liability coverage and
administrative approvals, employees must submit a summary of the proposed
work, location, term, and the personnel involved to the appropriate supervisor
for approval. Such absences must be approved by the appropriate Vice President.
The supervisor shall contact the University Police and Safety Office prior to the temporary change
to ensure Worker's Compensation coverage.
- A temporary change of work location is not a Development Leave (Policy 132) or Leave Without Pay (Policy 314). Change of work location is normally for a shorter period of time, continues work within the scope of employment, maintains at least some departmental responsibilities, and is not part of a separate degree program.
