Telework as Reasonable Accommodation

As uncertainty continues to swirl around the future of telework with NTEU represented employees, we wanted to take an opportunity educate you about your rights to get telework as a reasonable accommodation, if you are otherwise qualified under the law.  Many of you telework 3 or 4 days per week.  Telework has been a big part of your life for a few years now.  Whether your health has deteriorated, or you simply never sought telework as a reasonable accommodation because your contract based rights satisfied your needs, now might be the time for you to consider this reasonable accommodation alternative. Telework as a reasonable accommodation is a creature of law, not contract.  Therefore, it does not matter what limitations are placed on telework via the National Agreement once the Federal Service Impasses Panel imposes a telework article. You might be eligible for part time or full time telework under the law, depending on your medical condition.
