Common use of Removal from Program Clause in Contracts

Removal from Program. 11.1 USMEPCOM may remove an employee from the Telework Program based on the employee’s failure to adhere to the requirements specified in the USMEPCOM/AFGE Local 725 Telework Agreement and/or a change in eligibility to telework as discussed in Section 3 of this Article. Normally, employees will not be removed from participation for single, minor infractions of Telework Program requirements. Supervisors will counsel employees about specific problems before effecting removal. The counseling will be confirmed in writing. When a decision is made to remove an employee from the Telework Program, the employee must be given written notice indicating the reason(s) for removal. The employee may reapply for Telework Program participation thirty (30) calendar days after removal from the program, unless not authorized to telework as outlined in Section 3.2.5 of this Article. 11.2 Any time an employee believes they need to permanently or temporarily return to work at the ODS, the employee will normally provide USMEPCOM with thirty (30) calendar days notice of the needed change, except in emergency situations. USMEPCOM will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the employee’s needs. Employees returning to the ODS in these circumstances must recognize that the equipment and workstations that are made available by USMEPCOM may not immediately be the same as the ones they had prior to participating in the Telework Program. USMEPCOM is expected to provide the employee a complete work area equal or similar to that of others in their occupation in their assigned work area within a reasonable timeframe.
