Common use of Telework Agreements Clause in Contracts

Telework Agreements. X. Xxxxx to commencement of regular and recurring Telework arrangements, the supervisor and the employee must request approval to Telework using the form at Appendix C. Written approval or disapproval normally will occur, within 10 (ten) workdays of submission by the employee, but no later than 15 workdays. If disapproved, the employee will be provided with a written explanation of the reason. If approved, the employee must complete and sign a Telework Agreement (copy at Appendix D) that outlines the terms and conditions of the arrangements. The purpose of the Telework Agreement is to prescribe the approved alternative worksite, Telework scheduling, and to address personnel and security issues. If the agreement is for work from home, the employee must designate one area of the home as the official workstation, and must sign a self-certification safety checklist (copy at Appendix E) that proclaims the home safe. Appendix F must be completed by the supervisor and employee to ensure proper understanding of the Telework Program. B. Individual participants may terminate their personal Telework agreement by giving advance written notice. C. Telework agreements will normally be approved on an annual basis and will be extended unless the employee or the employee’s position no longer meets the eligibility requirements to Telework. The Employer may modify or terminate a Telework arrangement if that arrangement is having a demonstrated undue adverse impact on work operations or performance. When practicable, the supervisor or manager will provide written notice prior to the cancellation of participation in order to provide adequate time for conversion back to the official duty station. New Telework agreements are not required simply because a new supervisor or approving official is assigned to an organization.
