[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 22:54 - I do not work for the government.  I work for an organization where lots of folks have small children.  On normal telecommute days, we all absolutely have child care, and we book 8 hours of work.  On snow days, the rules are different - everyone knows that we are just doing whatever we can.  We do whatever work we can, we book that time as teleworking, and the other hours are booked as leave.

It's the same when people are sick - if you're contagious and can't come into work, you can work from home and you book whatever hours you actually work to work and other (nap) hours to sick.  [/quote]

I can tell you don't work for the government because your "rules" sound too reasonable  :wink:

I DO work for the feds and in my agency, we can't work from home if we're sick.  The thinking is that if you're too sick to come into the office, you're too sick to work at home.  I'm highly allergic to poison ivy- the times I've gotten it, I haven't even had direct contact with the plant but got it from the oils on someone else.  The nastiest rash covers me from head and toe.  I am physically able to work, but usually don't go in to the office b/c it's disgusting to look at and people are disgusted.  Yet I take sick leave.  Same with pink eye- it's contagious and uncomfortable, but the ability to do work is not hampered by having it.[/quote]
