OPM emphasizes remote work benefits for certain roles but acknowledges its unsuitability for all. Thoughtful implementation is crucial, especially for new hires or employees living close to duty stations.
Guidance from OPM seeks consistency in remote work policies across agencies. Attention is drawn to possible payroll discrepancies for employees working from home but receiving higher locality pay rates.
Agencies have the authority to define remote work parameters but should align them with travel policies. Instances of overpayment due to delayed duty station updates have been identified.
Remote work arrangements should consider factors like radius, proximity to the official worksite, and commuting distance. Critical issues like locality pay and duty station accuracy need attention.
