Appendix A. Definitions

Alternative Worksite. A location other than the employee's duty station (official worksite) such as an employee's residence, a Telework Center, an approved facility established by a state, local, or county government for use by teleworkers, or other location that is conducive to performing assigned duties.

Duty Station. The official worksite of the employee for purposes of pay (special salary rates, locality pay adjustments, and travel) in accordance with 5 CFR § 531.605(d).

Eligible Position. A position in which some or all of the employees' assigned duties can effectively be performed away from their duty station without adverse effect on customer service delivery and does not require the direct handling of classified materials on a regular and recurring basis.

Local Commuting Area. The geographic area that constitutes one area for employment purposes. It includes an area in which people live and can reasonably be expected to travel back and forth daily to their usual employment.

Official Worksite. The official worksite is the site where an employee reports for duty. The official worksite of an employee teleworking on a regular and recurring basis will be determined on a case-by-case basis and documented in the Telework Agreement.

Telework. A work flexibility arrangement under which employees perform their assigned duties and responsibilities and other authorized activities from an approved worksite (normally their residence) other than the location from which the employee would otherwise work.

Telework Agreement. A written agreement outlining a specific work arrangement between a supervisor and an employee. Telework Agreements are mandatory for an employee's participation in the telework program (except in an emergency situation).

Telework Center. A General Services Administration or other approved facility established by state, local, or county government or private sector organization for use by teleworkers.
