Per the current San Francisco City & County MOU:
ARTICLE II – EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS JULY 1, 2024 - JUNE 30, 2027 CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND SEIU LOCAL 1021 MOU CITYWIDE 35
CC. TELECOMMUTING 261. An employee who meets the Telecommuting Program eligibility criteria and program guidelines may apply to participate in the Telecommuting Program. Requests for participation in the Telecommuting Program shall be responded to within thirty (30) days. As described more fully in the Telecommuting Program materials, telecommuting is a cooperative arrangement subject to the telecommuting appeal process. Either a telecommuting employee or the City may end a telecommuting arrangement at any time, however, telecommuting arrangements will not be denied or ended for an arbitrary or capricious reason. In the event a represented employee has a good faith belief that a telecommuting request is denied for an arbitrary or capricious reason, or that an existing telecommuting agreement was terminated for an arbitrary or capricious reason, the member may appeal the decision to the City’s Human Resources Director, whose decision shall be final and binding. Upon the request of the Union, the Labor Management Committee will agendize twice per fiscal year any disputes relating to changes to telecommuting arrangements or denials of telecommuting requests. At the meetings on which the issue is on the agenda, the City’s Human Resources Director will be in attendance. Neither the Telecommuting Program nor this Section are subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure of this Agreement.
You can find more information about the City's telecommute program here.
If you have received a notice that your current telecommuting arrangement has been denied or terminated for arbitrary or capricious reasons, fill out this form and write an appeal explaining your reasoning.
Once submitted, your appeal will be recorded with SEIU 1021 staff representatives and sent straight to Director of Human Resources Carol Isen.
