Remote work as Labor standards investigator

How to work remotely as Labor standards investigator?

If you are a federal employee, you are probably already familiar with the concept of telework. A telework agreement is an agreement between your agency and your union that allows you to work remotely. You must have a telework agreement in order to telework. The agreement must be negotiated between the agency and your union and approved by the Federal Labor Relations Authority.

The Department of Labor has issued a final rule amending its regulations regarding the use of telework in the federal government. The new rule expands the definition of telework to include employees who work at home or from an alternate location. The new rule applies to all federal agencies and is effective January 1, 2014.
The rule also creates a new telework category for employees who work from home. This new category will apply to employees who work from home at least half of the time. The final rule does not apply to federal employees who work in the national capital region or at U.S. embassies and consulates overseas.
There are many advantages to telework. It can save money, improve employee morale, reduce the number of sick days taken by employees, and reduce the number of employees who use sick leave to stay home from work. The final rule also allows federal agencies to reduce the number of work hours worked by employees, and to increase the number of telework days that employees are allowed to work.
