How do I record split work locations?
To accommodate an employee’s splitting time working on campus and remotely outside of the City of Philadelphia, the employee’s supervisor will need to send an email to the payroll department at payroll@drexel.edu and copy the employee on the email.
It must be included in the email that the employee is required to work remotely as well as the percentages of time spent working remotely and on campus. If and when an employee’s work situation changes, a new email must be sent to payroll to reflect the changes.
The Work Location Certification app in DrexelOne is no longer being used.
Note: If the employee is working remotely for convenience, no action is needed.
