On-Campus Work
Alternative work arrangements will need to be in place for staff roles planning any hybrid capacity. Faculty members and librarians should contact the Dean, their Chair, Director or Supervisor to discuss their workload assignment if applicable.
All employees are expected to be within commuting distance of their workplace, unless approval is obtained in advance to work outside of Ontario. We continue to encourage flexibility and support for employees with childcare responsibilities resulting from potential cancellations of in-person classes for school-age children or daycare closures.
