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. Offie 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 worklife, 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.
