Emergency Dismissal or Closure Procedures. The employee is expected to telework on scheduled or unscheduled telework days, as per the employee’s tour of duty as outlined in the WFA, for the duration of any proclaimed emergency when the agency worksite is closed or when the Department or the Office of Personnel Management allow for unscheduled leave/unscheduled telework. If the employee is unable to work due to illness, dependent care responsibilities or other personal needs, the employee will take appropriate leave (e.g., annual or sick leave). The employee may be granted excused absences on a case-by case basis when other circumstances (e.g., power failure) prevent the employee from working at the alternative worksite. To the extent practicable, management will include a description of emergency duties with this agreement if emergency duties differ from the employee’s normal duties.
