Remote Employee Reimbursement Policy (Interim)

Yale is deeply appreciative of the adaptability and resiliency of its employees.  After a period of largely remote work due to COVID-19, Yale has begun the transition back to in-person work.

As this transition continues, this interim policy establishes the rules and expectations that govern certain categories of purchases made by or on behalf of employees working remotely or on a hybrid schedule (i.e., partially in-person and partially remote). It also contains important reminders of existing policies particularly applicable to this transition period (e.g., mileage reimbursements). It replaces the former “Remote Employee Reimbursement Policy (Interim).”  

This policy applies to all employees working remotely or on a hybrid schedule (i.e., partially in-person and partially remote). It does not apply to employees working fully in-person. Such employees are, however, subject to all other applicable Yale policies.

As always, employees are expected to spend Yale funds prudently and for valid business purposes.
