Telework - What is your agency allowing?

My agency is rolling out new TW agreements. Only situational TW is allowed and my Supervisor says that they can only give permission for TW that is in the interest of the agency, e.g. weather but not medical appointments. Anyone with a medical appointment has been told they need to come into the office before/after the appointment or will need to take a full day’s leave. Same for deliveries. No TW at home while you wait for a delivery or service appointment.

What guidance are other feds getting at their agencies? Are you allowed to TW around medical appointments?

In the long run, it may not matter if we’re RIF’ed but the threat of being RIF’ed is currently being used as a stick to get us all to be compliant with this micro-management and not question and push back on these policies. Would welcome hearing from feds at other agencies.
