Remote Work
Questions and answers
It is the employee's responsibility to maintain a clean, safe and productive and alternative worksite environment. Depending on the requirements of the agency remote work policy, a manager may ask the employee to complete a safety checklist self-certifying the alternative worksite is free from hazards. The checklist generally provides a description of the agreed upon alternative worksite or designated work area, a self-certifying assessment of its overall safety, and if signed, assumes compliance. Government employees causing or suffering work-related injuries and/or damages at the alternative worksite are covered the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). Employees should immediately report any work-related injuries and managers should immediately investigate any reports of accidents or injuries on the job.
