[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question- for those agencies with negotiated collective bargaining agreements in place providing for 2 days or less every two weeks- so only requiring in person 2-4 times per MONTH - how is an agency head supposed to “require” three days a week? [/quote]

Our agreement allows managers to approve as little as 2 days in the office per pay period, but if you read the actual collective bargaining agreement it’s in the manager’s discretion. The manager can’t be arbitrary but they could say that their entire work group is now only approved for telework 6 days or 4 per pay period. The agreements don’t say they must provide maximum flexibility.[/quote]

That varies by agency, mine does.[/quote]

It seems that people think the SEC collective bargaining agreement that was just signed strongly protects telework (2 days in-office per pay period) for the next few years at least, but when I read the CBA it does seem to be in the supervisor's discretion.  Could someone please fill in the blanks for me?

Also what happens for people not in the union?  Are they just out of luck?[/quote]

Yes, you are out of luck if you are not in the union and yes, managers do not have to allow maximum flexibility.[/quote]

NP and article 11, Section 6 provides the criteria for denying it and it is not subject to the whim of managers.  They have to have a legit business reason to deny.  There are also provisions for employees that screw up to not be allowed to TW.[/quote]
