Teleworking refers to working from remote locations, rather than the usual workplace. Teleworkers normally use computers and other technologies to accomplish job tasks.
Most information-based jobs are appropriate for teleworking. Teleworking is ideal for jobs or tasks that require reading, writing, research, working with data, and talking on the phone. Some jobs that may not seem appropriate at first may be modified temporarily so that employees can telework.
An employee may discuss options for telework with their supervisor including a proposal of work to be performed and equipment requirements.
