Manager here. Please report. Most likely we know, but have no proof to pull her off telework.

Rather then report it (since you don't know for sure), why not just ask her why she's never available during those times? At the very least, it will put her on notice.

OP here: It is a Fed job with strict 8 hour schedule with some flexibility (arrive at 7,leave early type of thing).

We don't hear from this person on their telework days before 10 am and after 2 pm on her telework days even though there are things we need her input on. No overtime allowed, so we don't expect to hear anything after 5 from anybody ever.

I agree. This is not something you want to get involved in unless it's actually impacting your work. She will have excuses (legitimate or not) and you will look bad.


Yes, even though she is being a time thief.

My company's policy is that we work 8 hours between 7am and 7pm. It doesn't have to be consecutive. If you work in multiple time zones, it's relatively unenforceable. I don't stay on Skype 24/7 because I prefer to be emailed. I'm sure people occasionally feel like I'm not available, but that's not really the case.

Mind your own business.

Is the work getting done? That's all that matters...work done on time. If you're jealous, start telecommuting, bust out your work and take the afternoon off.

If her unavailability is causing you not to get your job done then that's a different matter.

Maybe she's taking leave for those times. Did that ever occur to you?

One of my colleagues teleworks 2x a week on Mondays and Fridays and is never available early or late in the day. A colleague with a SAHM who lives in the same neighborhood reports seeing her at the playground/library etc routinely on these days.

Is there any way of broaching it with them to let them know their presence is being noted? Or should we MYOB?
