Telework Enhancement Act

The Telework Enhancement Act, enacted in 2010, requires federal agencies to establish policies that promote telework, allowing eligible employees to perform their duties remotely part of the time. The law aims to improve government efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance work-life balance for employees. It mandates agencies to develop a telework policy, designate a telework managing officer, and ensure proper communication and training. Overall, it formalizes telework as a viable and supported work option within the federal government, encouraging flexible work arrangements while maintaining productivity and accountability.
