[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you suspect this person is an actual fraud who doesn't do anything, report her to the inspector general.

They'll probably get her exclusively on claiming DMV locality pay while living outside the area.

I've been reading the IG reports from my own agency, and that's pretty much the sole basis on which bad apples are pushed out.  That, and running your own business during working hours, using the printers to print hundreds of flyers or something.[/quote]

+1. Submit an OIG complaint on her. The big issue is that if she’s living in the Midwest she’s being paid DC locality pay. That’s fraud. Im dealing with something similar regarding paternity leave. I transferred agencies last Fall and the week before I started, an employee got the acting supervisor to sign off on intermittent paternity leave to be used over 6 months in conjunction with full time telework. It was a recipe for disaster as the employee would pop online for 20-30 minutes at a time, stretched out their leave for 6 months vs 12 weeks and avoided RTO for several months. It caused a lot of issues because it was clear that the employee was not pulling their weight and created a mess for me.[/quote]

Not fraud and not similar. Just because you don't like somebody's approved leave plan doesn't make the plan illegal. [/quote]

[b]You cannot collect DC locality pay unless you are in DC once a pay period[/b].  Several people at my work have been busted for this.[/quote]

No, your location while on leave does not affect your pay. If I take a 4 week vacation overseas, I do not lose my DC locality pay. If I spend my maternity leave at my mom's house, I am not required to tell work where I am and I certainly don't get [i]more[/i] money if my mom lives in a HCOL area.

The person PP is complaining about is on leave. They have approval to telework for short periods, but effectively they are "home" for pay purposes while on leave. The prior boss didn't have to approve the telework, and presumably PP could disallow the telework if they chose, but it's not locality fraud. [/quote]
