Introduction
Telework is a flexible work arrangement where employees perform their job duties at an approved alternate worksite. Telework aligns with and supports the following:
- Accomplishment of work
- Agency productivity
- Continuity of Operations Plans and emergency preparedness
- Recruitment/retention strategies
- Reduction of traffic and emissions
- Government real estate cost savings for taxpayers
- Work/life wellness
Employees are not entitled to telework. Employees should discuss telework eligibility and arrangements with their supervisors. Please use the HR Contacts form to find your IC Telework Coordinator.
