Regular and Situational Telework. An employee must complete the following actions in order to be approved for a regular or situational telework agreement: (1) The employee must submit a completed application to the employee’s immediate supervisor, including the completed safety checklist and the certification of the employee’s telework training. (2) The employee and supervisor must discuss the proposed telework agreement and the type of work to be completed by the employee at an alternative work location. (3) Once all requirements are completed, the employee must sign and date the telework agreement. (4) A separate agreement for each telework episode is not necessary if the employee has signed an agreement to telework on a situational basis. (5) For each specific situational request, the employee must identify in writing, generally by email, to the supervisor, with sufficient time for the supervisor to approve or disapprove: the requested date, the portable work to be performed, the alternative work location, and the telephone number if there is no call-forwarding function available. Response to requests must be in writing. Telework may not be performed unless approved in advance. (6) Employees must obtain information and implement all procedures for accessing the secured operations of the regular office/worksite. (7) If the alternative work location is a telework center, arrangements must be made by the employee’s organization to cover the cost and to reserve a workstation for the employee.
