The second option is a Citywide pilot program, which allows participants to select two set days to work from home each week.
The two days will need to be approved by the attorney's division and take into consideration the needs of the division, as the pilot program requires more than 50% staff coverage each day.
In addition, if an attorney needs to appear in court, a client meeting or other in-person work related event on a set work from home day, they will need to attend to those in-person responsibilities and will not be able to work from home that day.
Participants in the pilot program must set one work from home location where they will work remotely.This pilot program is currently being tested Citywide to determine its efficacy for City agencies and is not yet a permanent program.
To apply, please upload your cover letter, resume, writing sample, and a list of three references with contact information as one document under "resume.
