Telework Enhancement Act of 2010

Summary

Telework Enhancement Act of 2009 - Requires each executive agency to establish a telework policy, determine and notify eligible employees, provide an interactive telework training program, and ensure that no distinction is made between teleworkers and nonteleworkers for purposes of performance appraisals, work requirements, or other acts involving managerial discretion. Requires such policy to: (1) ensure that telework does not diminish employee performance or agency operations; (2) exclude employees whose official duties require daily direct handling of secure materials or on-site activity that cannot be handled remotely or at an alternate worksite, except in emergency situations; and (3) be incorporated as part of the agency's continuity of operations plans. Directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to: (1) provide policy and policy guidance for telework; (2) assist each agency in establishing qualitative and quantitative measures and teleworking goals; (3) maintain a central telework website; and (4) report to specified congressional committees annually on each agency's telework program. Directs each agency to: (1) designate a Telework Managing Officer; and (2) report to the Chief Human Capital Officers Council on agency management efforts to promote telework. Sets forth provisions regarding authority for agency test programs for paying travel expenses for teleworking employees.
