[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DoD is saying situational telework is only for weather or other emergencies so not to benefit the employee. we were told we could not telework before a medical appointment or for a sick kid. I plan to leave my laptop at the office every day.[/quote]

Does it really benefit primarily the *employee* to be able to WFH while sick or recovering from surgery? I have 1000 hours of sick leave banked. I think it benefits the agency more than me to be able to work rather than get paid for watching TV for weeks while my foot heals.[/quote]

Not everyone has 1000 hours. I’m in the negative because I had to borrow sick leave to recover from my c-section, and that was over a year ago. So yes, being able to WFH when I’m sick benefits me because I would lose my job if I could not borrow any more sick leave and ran out of FMLA. And it allows me to recover faster if I’m not run ragged by commuting 2 hours every day. [/quote]

Why didn’t you have Paid Parental leave if you’re a fed who has a baby just one year ago?[/quote]

They likely took more than 3 months.[/quote]

Well, that’d be a personal decision, rather than a medical necessity, barring unusual complications.

Point is, a lot feds have many hours of sick leave banked, and we accrue 13 days a year, and with a ban on telework, the result will be much more paid sick leave being used. [/quote]

That is a HUMANE position that most of the rest of the civilized world goes by. Many places it is a YEAR at home and that is as it should be for people who want it.[/quote]
