The Telework Transparency Act of 2024, also known as Bill 118 s 4043, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in telework policies within federal agencies. The bill requires federal agencies to report to Congress on their telework programs, including the number of employees eligible for telework, the number of employees actually participating in telework, and the cost savings or other benefits associated with telework.
Additionally, the bill requires federal agencies to establish telework policies that are consistent with best practices and guidelines set forth by the Office of Personnel Management. This includes ensuring that telework programs are accessible to all eligible employees, regardless of their location or job duties, and that telework agreements are regularly reviewed and updated.
The Telework Transparency Act of 2024 also includes provisions for evaluating the effectiveness of telework programs within federal agencies, including conducting surveys of employees and supervisors to gather feedback on the impact of telework on productivity, work-life balance, and other factors. This information will be used to make recommendations for improving telework policies and practices within federal agencies.
Overall, the Telework Transparency Act of 2024 aims to promote greater transparency and accountability in telework programs within federal agencies, with the goal of increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving work-life balance for federal employees.
