Federal Telework Reform: Annual Reviews, Remote Hiring Priority, and Travel Rules.
This Act standardizes definitions for telework and remote work across Federal agencies and mandates annual performance-based reviews for all telework agreements. It creates a noncompetitive hiring pathway for qualified veterans and military/law enforcement spouses into remote positions, aiming to boost recruitment. Furthermore, it clarifies rules regarding official worksites and restricts travel reimbursement for remote employees living near their agency office.
Key points
Telework agreements must be reviewed annually by supervisors based on employee performance and agency operational needs.
Qualified veterans and spouses of military members or law enforcement officers gain noncompetitive access to remote Federal job openings.
Remote employees living within 75 miles of their agency office generally cannot be reimbursed for travel costs to that office.
Agencies must conduct biennial surveys and implement systems to ensure data security and accurate reporting of remote work usage.
