Guidance and resources
ASU employees whose primary physical work location is outside the state of Arizona are subject to all employment-related laws of the U.S. state, territory or non-U.S. country in which they work.
Pre-approval is required before:
- Hiring an employee whose primary work location will be outside the state of Arizona, including any other U.S. state, territory or international location.
- Approving an existing employee’s relocation to a work location outside the state of Arizona, whether domestic or international.
Regardless of duration, any such arrangement must be approved by the dean or director and the responsible vice president or vice provost. The Office of Financial Services, the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration and the Office of General Counsel advise on any requirements or restrictions specific to the requested work location.
Include sufficient time for the approval process when planning a hire or relocation. International appointments may require additional processing time. The approval process for adding employees to established ASU locations outside Arizona is streamlined.

Location-specific guidance
When working from a location outside Arizona, ASU employees are subject to Arizona Board of Regents and ASU policies, as well as any applicable local laws.
Units should seek guidance from the Office of General Counsel and the Office of Human Resources on complying with local laws.
For established ASU locations outside Arizona, ASU may also prepare a location-specific policy supplement or other guidance.
