"The Department of War Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report on the Biden administration-era telework policies Tuesday that revealed that at least $665,000 was spent - questionably - on locality pay. The report is the first from the War Department since Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa sent a letter to 24 government agencies requesting a review of the issues involved with telecommuting in August 2023, with some agencies refusing to send data during the Biden administration."
""From bubble baths to the beach and beyond, I've been warning that Biden's bureaucrats were everywhere except the office," Ernst said. "Thanks to my oversight and partnership with the Trump administration, the days of federal workers missing in action at the expense of hardworking taxpayers is coming to an end. Showing up is half the battle, and Biden's bureaucrats were in full retreat. If the Pentagon can't keep track of its personnel or our tax dollars, no wonder it can't pass a clean audit.""
The Department of War Office of Inspector General identified at least $665,000 in potentially improper locality pay tied to telework under Biden-era policies. The OIG was unable to reliably determine how many employees teleworked because of inadequate recordkeeping, inconsistent policies across agencies, and employees using incorrect timesheets to document remote work. Republican Sen. Joni Ernst initiated a review, sending letters to 24 government agencies and noting some agencies refused to provide data. Concerns include weakened personnel oversight, potential taxpayer costs, and links between poor tracking and the Pentagon's difficulties with audits and accountability.
