From Alyssa Rosenberg at Government Executive:
Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry on Wednesday announced a broad new telework plan for employees, in part to deal with growing concern over the spread of swine flu in the United States. ...
It calls for a council of program managers to develop standards for telework, and requires agencies to submit telework policies to that council for review. It also asks agencies to designate a telework managing officer and create an appeals process for employees who are denied permission to use the work arrangement. Additionally, it would establish training programs to prepare employees to telework and curb managerial opposition. OPM would be in charge of providing technical assistance.
Phooey. For whom? Would be good to know, for starters.
ReplyDeleteI hope they let MOD managers work from home. LOL
ReplyDeleteOQP field site employees get to work from home (AIPQB and DQB). The primary limitation of this is lack of access to the SSA mainframe and intranet.
ReplyDeleteODAR judges and attorneys "work" at home, and we all know how well that has worked out.
