Working Remotely  

When working remotely, it’s important to maintain strong productivity and customer service standards. Technology plays an important role, but it can be challenging to get started and to know exactly what you need. The technology resources below will help you prepare to work remotely.

Clocking Your Time

  • All exempt employees, please use web clocking.
  • All non-exempt/hourly employees, if you’ve been approved to work from home, clock your time via phone. 
  • If you forget to clock your time, notify your supervisor and timekeeper as soon as possible. 

Computers and Laptops

  • Ensure your computer is up to date with the latest security software. 
  • While there is no requirement on internet speed for connecting to EHC’s network, for optimal use, your internet bandwidth should be higher than 2mbps.
  • For access to your data and applications and a variety of Emory resources (e-Vantage, Emory Box, etc.), you must authenticate through DUO.
    • If you are prompted to enter DUO credentials and you do not have a DUO account, call 8-HELP (404-778-4357) to be set up with an account.
