Abstract
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many employers are adopting and/or updating their employment policies and practices to meet new operational realities. One issue receiving significant attention is teleworking. In broad terms, telework denotes a flexible work arrangement under which employees perform their duties and other authorized activities from home or approved sites other than their usual worksites. This policy brief provides a framework for adopting an integrated telework policy applicable to all employees, including employees with disabilities.
