<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />Flexible Work Arrangement Policy <br /> <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for a flexible work arrangement at the City of <br />Lino Lakes. This policy governs work-life opportunities for the staff at the City of Lino Lakes. <br />Flexible work arrangements may be offered to designated employees as determined by the City <br />Administrator. Flexible work arrangements are not appropriate for all employees or positions and <br />no employee is entitled or guaranteed the opportunity for a flexible work arrangement. It is a <br />management option, rather than a universal employee benefit. <br /> <br />Goal <br />The City’s goal is to maintain or improve employee productivity while providing employees <br />scheduling options that encourage a productive, healthy and safe workplace; and helps employees <br />effectively integrate and manage their work and personal life responsibilities, and can enhance <br />their overall well-being and improve job satisfaction. <br /> <br />A flexible work arrangement is a business and workplace strategy, not an employee benefit or <br />employee right, and approval or denial is at the sole discretion of the City Administrator. The City <br />seeks to effectively address the personal needs of employees and the needs of their respective <br />departments and strives to provide for a responsibly managed workplace through careful selection, <br />preparation, and accountability of supervisors, managers and leaders. <br /> <br />Criteria <br />The City supports a flexible work arrangement when it is reasonable and practical to do so and <br />where operational needs will not be adversely affected. The City has sole discretion to determine <br />which positions are appropriate for a flexible work arrangement. The City reserves the right to <br />identify positions where work cannot be performed on a flexible basis and exempt those positions <br />from being eligible for a flexible work arrangement. <br /> <br />Several criteria will be considered when determining whether an individual employee will be <br />successful in their job in a flexible work arrangement including, but not limited to: <br /> The ability for the employee’s work to be performed remotely or in a flexible schedule <br /> The employee’s job knowledge and demonstrated dependability <br /> The ability to establish clear objectives and work independently <br /> <br />The City Administrator and department directors will be responsible for identifying all roles <br />within the City where work can be performed on a remote or flexible basis either continuously or <br />with intermittent rotation into the workplace. <br /> <br />The City will consider requests to work a flextime schedule or telework on a case-by-case basis <br />considering the following non-exclusive factors: tenure, position, performance, manager support,
