This bill seeks to alter the compensation of federal employees who frequently engage in telework. It defines a "covered employee" as an individual who teleworks at least one day per week, or 20 percent of an alternative work schedule, while exempting certain groups such as disabled employees receiving accommodations, federal law enforcement officers, and active-duty military personnel. Under this proposed legislation, these covered teleworking employees would be prohibited from receiving annual pay adjustments. Moreover, they would be paid at the "Rest of U.S." locality pay rate, which would be fixed upon becoming a covered employee and would not be subject to subsequent locality pay adjustments. These provisions are slated to take effect on the first day of the first full fiscal year following the bill's enactment.
