Chapter 3. Eligibility

3.1 Eligibility Requirements

a. All NASA employees are eligible to participate in the Telework Program with the following exceptions:

(1) The position requires regular and recurring handling of classified materials. Note: employees whose duties primarily involve classified materials may telework to perform non-classified work assignments.

(2) The employee performs onsite activities on a daily basis that cannot be conducted at an alternative worksite.

(3) The employee's last performance rating of record was less than fully successful.

(4) The employee's conduct has resulted in disciplinary action within the last 12 months.

(5) The employee has been officially disciplined for absence without leave exceeding five days in a calendar year (5 U.S.C. § 6502(a).

(6) The employee has been officially disciplined for violations of the standards of ethical conduct related to accessing pornography (5 U.S.C. § 6502(b).

b. Although the above criteria establishes when an employee is eligible to participate in the Telework Program, eligibility does not equate to an entitlement to telework. An employee's participation in the Telework Program is voluntary and subject to supervisory approval. A supervisor may deny an eligible employee's request to telework for mission-related reasons and when it is in the best interest of the organization, e.g., based on staffing needs.
