(A) York County recognizes the need for flexibility and creative solutions in work scheduling. This strategic initiative is a unique opportunity to attract and retain talent as well as provide our employees with the ability to balance work/life priorities while continuing to deliver excellent service and increased productivity.
(B) Recognizing that each department best understands their own organizational objectives, operating demands, and workforce needs. Alternative Work Arrangement (AWA) requests must be submitted by the department director to the County Manager or their designee for approval. It is the responsibility of the department director to determine the positions in their respective departments that would be eligible for Alternative Work Arrangements (AWA).
(C) Employees interested in being considered for Alternative Work Arrangements should discuss with their supervisor and complete the Alternative Work Arrangement (AWA) Request Form. Alternative Work Arrangements (AWA) requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are individually evaluated depending on job-related factors, including but not limited to, customer service needs, legal requirements, and the employees’ work performance. Alternative Work Arrangements (AWA) may not be suitable for all positions or employees. It is the County Manager’s sole discretion to grant Alternative Work Arrangements (AWA) requests.
(D) All AWA request approvals are conditional upon appropriate access to technology, conference calls, web access and submission of daily logs submitted of work accomplished. The Alternative Work Arrangement policy can be discontinued at any time at the county’s sole discretion.
