  • Abstract:
    The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. General Services Administration are sponsoring a governmentwide telecommuting program to increase opportunities for employees to work part of their regular workweek at an alternate worksite: at home or at a telecommuting center. A telecommuting center (telecenter) is a multi-agency facility that provides a geographically convenient office setting as an alternative to the Federal employee's main office. Federal telecenters also serve as conveniently located administrative support centers for home-based telecommuters. This manual is provided to assist Federal agencies and their employees establish and participate in such flexible (alternative) workplace arrangements (Flexiplace). These arrangements are also called "telecommuting" arrangements and participants are called telecommuters. Flexible arrangements operate according to guidelines and procedures established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the GSA. These guidelines and procedures are included in this manual. The establishment of flexible workplace arrangements is driven by efforts to improve the quality of work life, employee productivity, the balance of work and personal/family life, the environment, energy utilization, and other social or economic conditions. The telecommuting movement is facilitated by innovations in human resources management, changes in the nature of work, and new technology. Many current workers can perform their work form virtually anywhere.
