[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Christian who is about to request Friday telework to attend an in-person prayer group at my church on Friday mornings. The June 16 OPM is so broad and so tilted toward the employee that I figure why not try this. I think you should definitely request it. No one but your supervisor needs to know the details. Good luck! 👍[/quote]

Do you have enough leave to cover the time off to attend?[/quote]

Read the memo. Telework accommodation for time-specific prayers. The burden shifts to agency to establish undue hardship.

I know the fed haters on DCUM will go apoplectic.[/quote]

Not the PP but I read the memo and nowhere in there does it say someone doesn’t have to take leave for these things, only that they should be allowed to telework.  Telework does not equal go to church (or the gym or grocery shopping).  That mindset is what got us here in the first place.[/quote]

But if you have flex time you can work around it. [/quote]

NP. We can only flex start and end times, you still need to use leave for middle of the day things.[/quote]
