Remote Work

If the decision to terminate the remote work arrangement is made for reasons other than inefficiency (i.e., unacceptable performance or conduct), agencies have the option to reassign or involuntarily separate the employee. If an employee’s position of record is located outside of the official station for the agency worksite, relocation reimbursement may apply if the agency chooses to relocate the employee back to the agency worksite (for more information, please refer to the ‘Travel/Relocation’ section of the 2021 Guide to Telework and Remote Work in the Federal Government on telework.gov). It is important to clearly indicate these features in the agency policy addressing remote work.
