More Information

H.R. 4106 was introduced by Reps. Danny K. Davis, John Sarbanes, and others on November 7, 2007. The bill requires the head of each agency to establish a policy that allows authorized employees to telework. The bill provides a number of exceptions for situations such as an employee who cannot perform his or her job off-site. The bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) to issue guidance (coordinating where appropriate with OPM and FEMA) on questions of eligibility, information security, making telework part of the agency’s goals, and continuity of operations planning.
