I find the latitude for “other compelling reason” to be a pretty huge give in the memo.[/quote]

I do not. The exception has to be signed by the agency head and their manager. This is not just a person in HR signing the exceptions. All these Trump appointed heads are not going to sign those exceptions freely. Don’t count on that. [/quote]

That is not it exactly what it says. An agency head could prescribe “other compelling reasons” in the new policy and certify those as allowing telework through the policy and then require supervisors to confirm.  In other words, the agency head could state in the policy that “I certify telework until xxx for employees of this sub agency as the office is in the midst of construction” [/quote]

Hopefully the lawyers will agree with your interpretation, but it is very unusual for a policy to exceptions to be "certified by the agency head and the employee’s supervisor."

The intent is to make this administratively impractical.[/quote]
