Reply to comment by MarkinDC24 in Federal Government’s Return To Office Delayed By Union Disputes by Super_lobbyist

What is the conversation to be had over locality pay? My agency's stance seems to be if you are in the office once a pay period you get the office locality, otherwise it's where you live. Which seems pretty fair.

That's not just your agency's stance, it's OPM's stance.

Ah, yes, OPM was so helpful in this article right? Standard comms. 101 boiler plate responses. Suggesting media refer to their official report on telework. Honest question: Is OPM auditing agencies Telework Managing Officer’s agency data around Telework, as it is stipulated in the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010?

Government agencies have siloed communication. In some cases, agencies follow legal and/or OPM guidance strictly. In other cases, agencies use creative license to wiggle around legal/regulatory guidance. It is only a matter of time, before agencies start to compare what each other are doing. It would seem, agencies are accelerating their conversations around telework, and some agencies disingenuous use of telework locality determinations is only “just” being noticed.
