Telework refers to a pre-approved arrangement where an employee voluntarily works from home or another alternate location away from their regularly assigned on-site work location for all or part of the workweek. The University recognizes that telework enables continuation of University operations under changing conditions or during worksite disruptions, supports flexibility, reduces environmental impacts and traffic congestion, ��and provides a supportive and productive work environment attractive to employees and potential employees.

The University supports and allows the use of telework arrangements where appropriate for the employee and consistent with the University’s strategic direction and vision, business operations, and resource limitations. The determination of whether an employee is eligible and appropriate to participate and is approved for telework, will be made in accordance with the �鶹��ýTelework Policy & Guidelines. Campuses and offices may permit teleworking upon request by an employee; however, whether to approve a request is solely a management prerogative. Each employee’s telework schedule and arrangement with their supervisor is at the supervisor’s discretion, subject to approval by appropriate authorities, and may vary between employees, offices, divisions and campuses.

Any employee interested in applying for telework should review the �鶹��ýTelework Policy and Guidelines and FAQs below.

Pre-Tax Payroll Deduction Program

The �鶹��ýMānoa Commuter Services team, in conjunction with the �鶹��ýSystem Office of Human Resources, would like to announce the return of the pre-tax parking fee deduction benefit for �鶹��ýSystem and �鶹��ýMānoa employees parking on the �鶹��ýMānoa campus.

The Pre-Tax Parking Fee Deduction Benefit Program allows employees to pay for eligible parking fees by deducting a portion of their paycheck BEFORE taxes are taken out. When you elect to start the payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis, it reduces your taxable income. This allows you to realize savings in federal income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare (FICA). Due to recent changes in federal tax laws, up to $270 of personal parking expenses per month can be paid for on a pre-tax basis through this program.

The Pre-Tax Parking Fee Deduction enrollment period will occur as part of the annual parking permit process beginning at the end of April for the upcoming academic year. All Board of Regents and Civil Service employees of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus who are at half-time (0.50 FTE) or greater with appointment periods specified for the entire academic year are eligible. Graduate assistants, students, emergency hires, and casual employees are ineligible for this program. JABSOM and �鶹��ýCancer Center employees, please contact your parking coordinator for your specific parking arrangements and deduction options.

Those seeking tuition waivers must register after the normal student registration period, during the late registration period designated for faculty and staff at the campus where the course is offered. Employees must secure the authorization from their respective supervisors for any adjustments to work schedules.

Tuition waivers may not be used to waive course fees, nursing and dental hygiene clinical fees, lab fees, professional fees, or special funded courses, which have insufficient revenue to cover costs. A non-refundable, non-transferable administrative fee will be assessed for each summer session term. If enrolled at multiple campuses, you will be assessed an administrative fee for each campus.
