[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work from home if my DD is sick or her daycare is closed.  I will get up at 5 am and work until she wakes up - that usually gets me 3 - 4 hours of work.  Then, I work off and on the rest of the day.  She is almost three, so I can put in a video and get in almost 2 hours work that way.  If DD naps, I work during that time.  Any amount of time that I don't work, I then submit as sick leave.  Usually it's only a couple of hours I have to submit.  [/quote]

I am the above poster.  Our company has "official" telework arrangements in which you must have separate child care.  However, the scenario I mentioned above is not part of an official arrangement.  In our department, our managers are thrilled if you can get some work done instead of taking an entire day off.  It's not required of course, but if you can get in some or even all of your hours (and you want to do that), why would they rather work wait until you come back into the office?  Our company really stresses the work/life/family balance and this is one way that is helpful for me.  [/quote]
