[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4155084, member: 1132"] It does get abused, but it also works from time to time. I called my boss on Friday morning and said there was no way I could make it to work. I'd started getting sick about midnight and no amount of medication was working. I asked him if he wanted me to take sick leave or telework. He said he needed me so telework. No problem. I issued guidance to my direct reports on tasks, reviewed and approved reports, requested changes to a couple of them, analyzed a HQ report and issued more guidance on opening trouble tickets and change requests, did a threat assessment on a questionable access request (denied) and processed payroll for the pay period. I got pretty much the same amount of work done as I would've had I driven to work. Maybe more since getting ready and the commute would've taken some energy. Now I'm not all backed up and swamped at work this morning (just waiting on some reports to be submitted). The only bad part was having to cancel my weekend trip to my buddy's cabin on Table Rock Lake. Turned out it was just a 24-36 hour bug, but there's no way I could've worked at the office and driven to Table Rock and there was no way I was going to go after not going to work, plus I didn't want to get anyone else sick. Probably the exception, but I'm glad the flexibility is there for everyone's benefit. On average my people get about one telework day per pay period. They structure their work so everything can be submitted in the systems on those days, and doing any webinars or online learning requirements that must be met. [/QUOTE]
