Telework is a voluntary agreement whereby an employee is permitted to work from home, or other approved location, on a pre-approved basis for part of his or her workweek. Telework does not change the nature of an employee’s work, the hours the employee is expected to be working, the employee’s official duty station, or the employee’s obligation to comply with laws, regulations, and state and agency policies.
This policy identifies the requirements employees must follow to apply for telework, establishes the rules an agency must follow when analyzing requests to telework, granting, granting as modified, or denying such requests, as well as the process the parties will follow with respect to the review of any disputed agency decisions.
