Introduction

Remote work is an arrangement in which an employee’s official duty station is an approved alternative worksite. The approved alternative worksite may be inside or outside the local commuting area of the Agency worksite and is typically, although not always, the employee’s residence.

Differences between telework and remote work

An employee who has a remote work arrangement permanently works from an alternative worksite that is not a NIH owned or leased facility. An employee who has a telework arrangement works from home on a regular or ad hoc basis but reports to the agency’s official duty station at least once a week/two days a pay period.

Benefits of remote work

Remote Work is a workplace flexibility that can help NIH retain employees who would otherwise leave their current positions. One of the most common reasons employees request a remote work arrangement is due to family responsibilities – for instance, their spouse is being relocated for work.
