[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP what do you mean by this? “ Also, as a side note, I think the SEC is going to be reluctant to re-open this issue because their primary argument for why remote work should be limited is no longer applicable.”

I want to agree with you but it seems their primary argument is that it enhances productivity, collaboration, etc. which they will absolutely still try to argue. So what are you referring to?[/quote]

PP here and the agency represented that all remote employees would need to be allowed to use duty time to commute if called into the office. [b] The agency either changed or reinterpreted its existing travel policy so that no longer applies to employees within a 40 mile radius (conveniently shortly after they testified to the FSIP that it had to be that way).[/b]

Perhaps instead of calling it their primary argument I should have called it their most persuasive argument because that is the one the FSIP focused on in its decision.[/quote]

I'm sincere in this question, not snarky.  Do you have more information on this?

It is my understanding that they argued that they would have to allow duty time IF the employee's duty station changed to home and the duty station changed to home if they did not report at least twice a pay period.  Since employees now need to report twice a pay period under the agreement, commute time is no longer duty time.  Right?  If so, that is logically consistent...[/quote]

Remote employees (i.e. those whose duty station is their home/ full time teleworkers) cannot use duty time for their commute if they live within 40 miles of the agency which wasn't the agency's interpretation of the policy before the FSIP.

Nothing wrong with that of course but the FSIP seemed to heavily consider lost time to commuting in rendering its decision and that concern no longer applies.  [/quote]
