Question

All of the following are specifics of unscheduled telework EXCEPT:

A. Flexibility that falls under closing and dismissal guidelines
B. Announced by the Director of OPM
C. Described in the Telework Enhancement Act
D. Defined as situational or ad hoc telework

Answer 1

Unscheduled telework does not require an announcement by the Director of OPM, but it provides flexibility under closing and dismissal guidelines, is described in the Telework Enhancement Act, and is situational or ad hoc telework.

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific of unscheduled telework that is NOT mentioned is option B, which states that it is announced by the Director of OPM. Unscheduled telework refers to teleworking that is situational or ad hoc, meaning it occurs as needed and not based on a set schedule. This kind of telework provides flexibility in terms of closing and dismissal guidelines, is described in the Telework Enhancement Act, and can be implemented when there is a need for employees to work remotely.

Answer 2

The specific of unscheduled telework that does not belong is 'Announced by the Director of OPM.' This kind of telework is usually implemented under more flexible conditions and wouldn't necessarily be announced by a single office director.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the specifics of unscheduled telework, one option that does not belong is 'Announced by the Director of OPM'. Although the Telework Enhancement Act may describe the conditions and management of telework programs and policies, unscheduled telework might be more flexibly administered and could be defined as situational or ad hoc telework. It could be implemented following the closing and dismissal guidelines to offer flexibility but wouldn't necessarily be announced by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). In fact, telework policies can be shaped by various factors, including union negotiations, as seen in the Social Security Administration's case where increased workload and a backlog were reasons to end their telework pilot program.
