Common use of Types of Telework Clause in Contracts

Types of Telework. A. Regular and recurring Telework arrangements are approved work schedules allowing eligible employees to work at an approved alternative worksite at least one day per week (including from home). Organizations may not impose blanket or arbitrary restrictions on the number of days of telework. The number of days of Telework is based upon workload requirements, ability to maintain effective communications in the workplace, implement new work processes, and accomplish the mission of the Agency. When an employee submits a Telework request, he/she will meet with the supervisor to discuss these specifics. This discussion will assist the supervisor in recommending the number of days per week Telework should be authorized. Approving officials have the sole discretion to determine the number of days per week (from one to five) a Teleworker is approved to work. Approving officials will advise Teleworkers of the number of days per week they are authorized to Telework. If the number of approved days per week is less than that requested by the employee, the employer will advise the employee of the business/mission reason. Mere generic statements such as “mission requirements” are not sufficient reasons.
