OPM guidance limits federal telework, generally requiring full-time, in-person work at agency worksites with limited, documented exceptions.
Guidance from the Office of Personnel Management governing federal employees' pay and benefits during appropriations lapses, last updated Sept. 28, stipulates that while scheduled leave is cancelled at the start of a government shutdown, agencies should grant excepted employees, who are forced to work without pay until funding is restored, access to episodic telework or be temporarily placed in a furlough status if they need time off.
