Just to be confusing..
Scott Kupor @skupor · 6m Update. We will officially update the @USOPM website, but, out of an abundance of caution, we are going to allow unscheduled telework and leave tomorrow for those eligible. For essential workers, we will update potential early leave options as we get more information in the morning. |

Applies to: Monday, March 16, 2026 Status: Open With Option for Unscheduled Leave or Unscheduled Telework |

Option for unscheduled leave or telework. I'm no fan of the current admin but that seems like a reasonable call. |

Yes, they were originally open, then changed it to the current status about 20 minutes later. |

| This is the right call - fewer cars on the road is better in the event the weather is severe and will help those who need to go in person. |

Because it is open to the public, so we're either fully closed, or everyone is supposed to come in out of solidarity with the people who can't telework. The only time we get "unscheduled telework" is when there is a full closure, or if there is a delayed opening or early dismissal, telework eligible employees are expected to make up time at home to clock a full 8 hours. So yeah, looks like I'm going in at 6 AM tomorrow, leaving early, and burning a couple hours of leave. |

All right, I stand corrected - I spoke too soon here and let my negativity get the better of me! But, to be fair, I work at an agency/building that has had numerous other safety and weather issues that went completely ignored in 2025 - only the latest winter storms got us any decent communication from leadership or telework options. I’ll take it. Glad I brought my laptop home (and that the water in my home is actually safe for drinking 🙃). |

| Wait, so you all have telework agreements? Our agency still has not given us that option. |

Some offices/agencies will allow telework —for weather reasons only— without a prior telework agreement. |

This is reasonable. |

Good for you all, I guess. Heading in and hoping for weather leave this afternoon. Hope OPM realizes that even office workers are still stuck going in |
