What is telework.gov?

Telework.gov contains information about performance and results-oriented management approaches under telework or remote work.

What is the importance of maintaining strong performance in an alternative location environment?

Additionally, maintaining strong performance in an alternative location environment requires employees and their supervisors to be well trained not only on their agency’s policies, criteria for eligibility, roles and responsibilities, and expectations for maintaining acceptable performance, but also on the support that is available to help supervisors and their staff develop new ways to collaborate and communicate .

What is telework in the workplace?

Under this option, telework occurs as part of an ongoing regular schedule such that employees typically telework on some days and work at their agency worksite on other days during each pay period. They must obtain managerial approval for the schedule (and any modifications to it), but do not need to obtain additional separate approval for each day they telework.

What is the Telework Enhancement Act?

The Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 requires agencies to ensure that "an interactive telework training program is provided to employees eligible to participate in the telework program of the agency; and all managers of teleworkers..." While OPM offers basic telework training modules for employees and managers on Telework.gov, agencies may also provide their own telework training opportunities that are specific to the needs of their workforce.

What are alternative work arrangements?

Alternative work arrangements require more than simply working offsite, and this is especially true for a remote work arrangement where the employee is rarely, if ever, at the agency worksite. Such alternative work arrangements come with challenges and require new skill sets for the employee unfamiliar with working in dispersed or virtual teams, and for supervisors unfamiliar with managing dispersed or virtual teams, so not every position or every employee is suited for this arrangement. Agencies may want to consider multiple factors, including individual work style preferences, team dynamics, and job characteristics, when making decisions about whether to permit remote work in particular instances. In addition to any formal evaluations required by their agency, agencies should advise employees in their remote work policies to conduct an honest self-evaluation when determining whether they would benefit from working in an environment where there is reduced in-person or on-site interaction with managers or members of the team. Employees may want to talk to other remote workers to gain information to help decide if remote work is a viable option.

Can an agency order employees to evacuate?

Similarly, in the event of a physical disaster or military event, an agency may order employees to evacuate and relocate pursuant to OPM regulations at 5 CFR 550.401-408. And in the event of a pandemic, an agency may order employees to evacuate to their homes pursuant to 5 CFR 550.409. As with the first example, such orders are undertaken pursuant to OPM regulations, not an agency telework program, and thus are not dependent upon an employee having entered into a telework agreement, but effective use of these authorities can be enhanced by involving more employees in telework and having them practice telework throughout the year.

Can you telework from a different location?

We note that there are other scenarios where an employee may be directed to work from a location other than his or her home office. Because these are not incident to the normal agency telework programs, we do not generally refer to these practices as “telework” within the meaning of the Telework Enhancement Act. For example, a catastrophic event that disrupts agency operations may result in the activation of an agency’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), and direction to members of the COOP team to relocate to and work from an alternative location. In that case, the employee is working from an alternate workplace under the agency COOP, and not pursuant to the agency’s telework program. Nevertheless, involving more employees in telework and having them practice telework throughout the year is valuable preparation for a COOP event.
