Federal employees would get a clear process to request and appeal telework decisions.
This bill would create a formal way for federal employees to ask for telework and appeal if their request is denied. It would also prevent federal funds from being used to force employees back to the office. This gives millions of government workers a more structured path for remote work.
Today, there isn't a standard way for federal employees to ask for telework or appeal denials, and rules vary by agency. This bill would create a formal, multi-step process for telework requests, including appeals to an independent board, and would stop federal funds from being used to restrict remote work. It would also automatically approve requests if no decision is made within 90 days.
