Flexible/Hybrid Work Schedules

Flexible Work Overview

As a residential campus and close-knit community that is built on a foundation of collaboration, mentoring and opportunities to gather for events and celebrations, Elon is committed to maintaining the personal and professional connections that support our active and dynamic environment. This means that much of our work necessarily takes place in person. With that in mind, please be aware that this policy will not be appropriate in all circumstances or for all positions or employees, particularly in areas with significant student-facing or public-facing roles. In addition, employees who are eligible for alternative work schedules or hybrid telework must be available to come to campus if requested.

The updated seasonal flexible work policy described below is effective June 3, 2024. Under this updated policy, full time and part time employees will be able to request an alternative work schedule or hybrid telework schedule during times when students are primarily away from campus.
