Question
Can a teleworker's schedule be different on their telework days?
Answer
Subject to the agency’s telework policy and operational needs of the organization, there is no restriction on how much flexibility may be allowed to teleworkers in this regard. Since telework eliminates commute time, it may make sense for the teleworker to begin their work day earlier than they would otherwise. However, the amount of flexibility will be determined by agency policy, collective bargaining agreements, and the business needs of the organization.
