Manager

In practice, telework has tended to fall into these categories.

Routine telework. Under this option, telework occurs as part of an ongoing regular schedule such that employees typically telework on some days and work at their agency worksite on other days during each pay period. They must obtain managerial approval for the schedule (and any modifications to it), but do not need to obtain additional separate approval for each day they telework.
Situational telework. Under this option, employees telework occasionally (i.e., it is not part of an ongoing and regular telework schedule) and agencies’ policies may require managerial approval each time they telework.
