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

There are exactly zero remote federal employees being paid for a locality other than the one where their house is located. There is no such thing as offering "favorably offered locality pay" for remote employees. If an employee is not remote, they are required to go into an office 2X per pay period, and locality is based on the location of that office.

Agreed with one caveat. You have to be in the locality pay of the office twice per pay period. If you live in the same locality area as the office working from home, the point is moot, you can be 100% at home and get locality.

I understand and agree with you. What you might not understand, is there are some of us who are aware of this clear guidance/legal direction not being followed. So, yes, there are much more than “zero” federal employees who are teleworking outside of the region (I.e. National Capital Region) and getting paid non-regional D.C. area locality pay. Please. Do. Not. Shoot the messenger!
