Additional Requests
If you receive a Normandale laptop, you may then also request via ITS or Facilities other items from your campus office as needed to be comfortable and do your job, including:
All Normandale (state) property is expected to be returned to campus when your telework agreement ends, which is why we strive to provide one of each of the above items, as needed for the Employee's Primary Work Location.
To the extent you are requesting duplicate items (e.g., double monitors on campus and double monitors at home), you will need to follow these steps:
- Request and receive approval from your supervisor (decision is based on the departmental budget and business purpose for this request).
- Request the equipment via AskUs on the Employee Exchange (Fiix for facilities requests and ITS for technology requests)
Office Supplies: Order through Marketplace pursuant to current policies and procedures, using approved vendors, and requiring supervisor approval. Paper, for instance, should be picked up from your department office supplies.
PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT use a P-Card for teleworking office supplies or equipment!!
Any other office supplies and equipment, or that which is ordered by a method not outlined here, are considered unauthorized and will be at the employee’s expense.
