[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious if anyone’s agency grants admin leave for weather safety for non-telework employees? [/quote]

Umm yes that’s what offices closed means. My dh cannot telework so he get weather leave. [/quote]

It’s apparently left to agency leadership on whether to grant it and my agency has explicitly said it won’t offer it to non-telework employees which is why almost everyone has signed one. I saw over on reddit some people say the same but others seemed to say they expected to get admin leave which made me think some agencies are allowing it.[/quote]

No, this is wrong. They can't make you telework, and if the office is closed you can't come in. So it's admin leave. [/quote]

So you are right they can’t make you sign a telework agreement (that’s voluntary) but they don’t have to grant you admin leave. You are expected to use your own leave. [/quote]

They did not have to make admin leave a government-wide policy but they did, and updated it as recently as last month. It says that unless you are an emergency employee or a telework/remote employee or on travel outside the affected region, you should get weather and safety leave.
