Purpose.

To establish policy for the telework program for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Headquarters (NAVFACHQ) and field activities, per references (a) through (g). For Field Components with bargaining units, appropriate labor relations obligations will be fulfilled. Enclosures (1) and (2) contain NAVFAC telework guidance to implement the policy, while enclosures (3) and (4) contain appropriate forms. Telework is a tool that provides employees with the opportunity to perform their duties at alternate work sites such as their homes or GSA Telecenters during an agreed upon portion of their workweek. For specific situations, telework offers the potential for increased productivity and improvements in employee morale, motivation, job satisfaction, and retention. However, telework is not appropriate in all situations and for all employees. It is a privilege extended to expand work options. It is NAVFAC policy that the developmet, implementation, and active promotion of telework shall be encouraged to increase workforce efficiency, quality of life for teleworkers, and continuity of operations.
