Employees, please consult your manager with questions about the new UNC Health Care system telecommuting policy and agreement. New UNC Health Care system policies support the implementation of an HR Shared Services delivery model to reduce variation across UNC Health Care and to create a consistent employee experience.

UNC Health Care confirms its commitment to being a Best Place to Work by assisting employees with work-life balance by offering telecommuting when it is mutually beneficial to both the employee and UNC Health Care, and as permitted by department leadership.
