F. Security and Access to Information
The employee that is working remotely is responsible for maintaining confidentiality and
security at the alternate workplace, as they would at the central workplace. The employee
must protect the security and integrity of data, information, paper files, and access to
institutional computer and information systems. All institutional and ITS policies apply to
remote work as they would in the central workplace.

G. Workplace and Worksite Appropriateness
The employee must ensure that the alternate work location does not represent a
hindrance to the quality of work performed by the employee. The appropriateness of
alternate work locations and their parameters are to be agreed-upon between the
employee and supervisor and are ultimately at the discretion of the supervisor.
The employee is responsible for setting up an appropriate work environment including use
of the employee’s own furniture, utilities, telephone, internet access and other equipment.
The University will not provide maintenance on an employee’s personal equipment used
in remote working or costs for utility or other associated expenses.

work location with the exception for assigned equipment such as computers, laptops,
tablets, and software needed to perform work assignments. However, the University will not
duplicate resources between the central work location and the alternate work location. Any
assigned equipment must be protected against damage, unauthorized use, and must only
be used for official University business, be managed, and supported by University ITS, and
its use must comply with the University ITS policies and standards. The University
provided items remain the property of Clayton State University and must be returned to the
University upon request. In case of extended illness, resignation, or termination; or if the
program ends, it is the employee’s responsibility to personally return all University
