[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does “abuse” mean?  If you can do your job 100% at home, why do it in the office if you have a health condition?  Telework used to be a lot less viable and the technology is totally ingrained into daily processes now.  Not sure why so many people on this thread are buying this “abuse” narrative and miserably policing other people.[/quote]

Well because “having a health condition” is not legally a per se entitlement to telework. telework has to be a “reasonable accommodation.” If you can do your job in the office but telework is nicer, that’s not it. If there is a different accommodation that is also reasonable the office can require that. [/quote]

That's not up to you, that's up to the supervisor and HR.  So if someone gets an RA for telework, what exactly is your problem?  And how is it being "abused" if people have used the legal RA process?  It's your own prejudice talking.[/quote]

+1.  My assumption is that if someone can get a doctor to fill out the form and supply other required documentation and have it approved by both the supervisor and HR that the persons condition is serious enough to warrant a TW RA.  [/quote]
