Summary

Telework Improvements Act of 2009 - Requires each executive agency to establish a policy under which employees may be authorized to telework to the maximum extent possible without diminishing employee performance or agency operations. Specifies circumstances under which teleworking will not be required. Provides that an agency shall not be considered to be in compliance with telework requirements unless employees authorized are permitted to telework for at least 20% of the hours worked in every 2 administrative workweeks. Requires agencies to: (1) provide training to teleworkers; and (2) ensure that no distinction is made between teleworkers and nonteleworkers for performance appraisal, training, and other specified purposes. Requires OPM to: (1) prescribe telework regulations; (2) provide teleworking assistance and guidance to agencies; (3) maintain a central, publicly available telework website, including regulations regarding telework and a confidential hotline and e-mail address to report abuse; and (4) provide a summary of any such reports to the Comptroller General. Requires each agency to designate a Telework Managing Officer who shall: (1) serve as a resource on teleworking for its supervisors, managers, and employees; and (2) ensure that employees are notified of grievance procedures for telework disputes. Requires the Comptroller General to: (1) establish a system for evaluating each agency's telework policy and employee participation; and (2) report annually to specified congressional committees on agency telework policies, participation, and practices. Sets forth provisions concerning incorporating teleworking into agency continuity of operations planning.
