[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A recent example: : I am charge of putting together a report for a funding agency. We collect input from everybody by Thursday afternoon, put together a report and run it by our supervisor who gives me feedback by Friday morning.  I work back and forth with with everybody to get the revised report  by Fridayafternoon but  I am still waiting for Jane's changes who drops off by 2 pm. So at this point, I have to interrupt my forward momentum and restart the whole process on Monday morning to get it sent out. Ideally I would like to get this done and go home happy on Friday. [/quote]

This is so easy to resolve with her -- Friday morning: "Jane, I'd like to get this closed out today: will you please send me x and y before you sign off?"  Or, "Jane, how late will you be online today: I want to make sure I get your input before COB."

Alternatively, also easy to ignore because it doesn't sound like this actually has to be done by a certain time Monday: if boss doesn't like what time it's being turned in, then you can bring up lack of timely response.  You seem to have the same problem you'd have if Jane were working closed-door on an important project and couldn't get back to you about the routine weekly report: the only difference is that you think you know she's not working.

I agree with PPs that you are bent on reporting telework fraud, even though (a) you are putting a lot of weight in someone else's spouse having correctly identified her outside the office and (b) you don't know her actual schedule or arrangements.  Just do it if you want to do it.  Let us know how it goes.[/quote]
