Telework Frequently Asked Questions

Manager


Q:
Does an employee have a right to telework?


A:
No. Subject to any applicable union agreement, management decides whether an employee can work off-site, depending on the nature of the position and the characteristics of the employee and the workgroup. In addition, management has the right to end an employee's telework arrangement if it is no longer viable for business-based reasons -  for example, if the employee's performance declines or if the arrangement no longer meets the organization's needs.
