[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us it's very strictly applied.  You have to have an appointment in the middle of the day such that you couldn't commit either earlier or later in the day and there has to be a pressing need for you to work that day vs just taking leave for the whole day.  It is a very high bar to meet so we won't be doing it more than once every few months, if that.  [/quote]

Are you hearing this at SEC or someplace else?

So it's NEED to do work not just want to do work so as not to burn leave/not fall behind etc. I can see my group at SEC doing this. Like you need to take a mid day appt, fine use your leave. Oh there's a 1 hour outside call that day we want you on - fine you telework just that 1 hour and take leave for the other 7. I just don't see anyone senior going to that rigmarole as people get plenty of vacation time and many/most people are cutting all their travel anyway so it's not like they're saving up time for their 12 days in Europe this summer.[/quote]

I am at the SEC and that is my groups policy.  Right, it's not even worth it for me to beg to telework, I'll just take the whole day off.  There is some support for this in KJs RTO FAQ where it talks about balancing the need for TW vs the person just taking leave although I don't think they had to be this strict about it.  The managers are irritated about it too because the same policy applies to them.[/quote]

FWIW your group sounds way more strict than mine [/quote]
