DPA Telework Policy

Purpose

The telework schedule allows employees and supervisors to mutually agree upon a varied distribution of their normal work hours. It does not change the number of hours worked, but simply allows each individual the flexibility to rearrange their work schedule to better meet their personal needs while considering the needs of the office.

The major benefits of a telework schedule are:

1. Improve program effectiveness and employee productivity and morale;
2. Facilitate optimum utilization of DPA office and parking facilities;
3. Reduce absenteeism;
4. Promote employee health and wellness;
5. Improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion;
6. Improve employee recruitment and retention;
7. Enhance the working life and opportunities of persons with disabilities;
8. Effectively continue business as a part of a disaster recovery or emergency plan.
