[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ad-hoc situational TW

Can use telework in a non-recurring manner:

Weather or public transportation disruptions

Before or after a dr's appt for yourself or a family member

To call in for an important mtg while on vacation

While taking care of a sick kid or when you are feeling under-the-weather but can still do a few hours of work

When you need to stay home to deal with a home repair

[b]In short, it should be non-recurring in nature. You can't TW every Tuesday because you need to take your kid to his weekly therapy appt. It needs to be one-off usage.[/b]

Managers can also now approve 90 calendar day medical telework (self) or that related to family member caregiving. Employee can only utilize one of these 90-day reprieves in a 12 month period.

Anything longer requires a Reasonable Accommodation, which have been revoked or are very difficult to get. [/quote]

This seems to be discriminatory as it’s penalizing any type of medical issues that require routine, regular care.

My office had someone quit because taking his kids with autism to reoccurring appointments violated the policy and he didn't have enough sick leave to cover it. [/quote]
