[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I foresee mandatory situational telework coming, so feds will be required to work from home during inclement weather. If we get a storm this week and the government closes, they can't require us to work because our agreements are void[/quote]

I work in a non fed government position. For us, you can either TW or use leave for weather events - no more adm leave. For sick you need to use a sick day - no TW. If you’re too sick to come in you’re too sick for us to pay you for the day.

Not sure I agree with this stance totally but when we t was more lax the abuse was rampant. You wouldn’t believe how often people were sick when they could TW but how infrequent it is under the new rules. So it’s hard to criticize. Really it hasn’t affected anyone who wasn’t abusing the opportunity. [/quote]

I mean if you’re staying home sick or recovering from surgery you’re gonna get paid either way. Seems more efficient to let people work instead of paying them to play video games or whatever.[/quote]

Problem is that people were “sick” weekly or more when they could TW. [b]Now that there’s no TW for that, people are amazingly healthy and not needing sick time. [/b]

Also for a surgery if a person really can work, they can secure an ADA accommodation.

Or, more likely, people are coming in when they don’t feel well and spreading their germs around, when last month they would have stayed home, gotten just as much done, recovered faster, and not gotten coworkers sick.[/quote]
