Supervisor checklist for supporting remote work
Remote/telecommuting work is not a normal operation for student employees and should be highly organized by departments/work areas before allowing student employees to use this option for continued employment.
Telecommuting works best when employees and supervisors communicate clearly about expectations. The checklist linked below will help you establish a foundation for effective teamwork, continued productivity, and service to the IU community.
*Visit the Supervisor Checklist for Supporting Telecommuting page for more information and to view the checklist.
Working on campus through COVID-19
IU Human Resources (HR) has worked through and continues to update policies and procedures to support university employees and university operations. It should be noted that student employees are considered temporary employees by the university. Supervisors should stay in touch with their student employees and refer to the Working Through COVID-19 page for updates and FAQs.
*For more information on COVID-19 and the university’s plan, visit coronavirus.iu.edu.
