About Remote Work

The Remote Work Program allows employees to work at a worksite other than a County office or other County location for all or part of their work week. Larimer County considers remote working to be a viable, flexible option when both the employee and the job are suited to such an arrangement. 

The objectives of the remote work program are to:

• Offer an enhanced work/life balance.
• Provide seamless customer service from a remote work location.
• Support employee recruitment and retention.
• Increase employee morale, productivity, and job satisfaction.
• Reduce absenteeism.
• Improve air quality by lowering carbon emissions.
• Reduce traffic and parking congestion.
• Maximize the use of County resources, including office space.

Remote work is work performed by an employee at a worksite other than a County office or other County location. The County recognizes two types of remote work employees: Mandatory and Voluntary. 

1. Mandatory Remote Work employees are required by their position or job to work one or more days a week from a remote work location. A Mandatory remote work employee does not have an assigned physical desk space at a County facility for one or more days a week. 
    
2. Voluntary Remote Work employees are not required by their position or job to work one or more days a week from a remote location.   A Voluntary remote work employee has an assigned physical desk space at a County operated facility for all scheduled hours of work.
