<p><span style="color:#1F3864">“</span><span style="color:black">Telecommuters are expected to be working and focused on the performance of their job duties during all work hours. All personal activities, including child and dependent care, pet care, housework,
yardwork, personal errands, etc., should be done only during established break times, lunch time, and before and after work hours. Telecommuters are required to use accrued leave when necessary, to provide dependent care or when addressing other personal responsibilities.
This includes time spent caring for an ill household member or other person.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teleworkers must make advance arrangements for dependent care (e.g., childcare or eldercare) to ensure a productive work environment. Telework is not intended to be a substitute for day care or other personal obligations. It is expected
that the Teleworker shall continue to make arrangements for dependent care to the same extent as if the Teleworker was working onsite. Adherence to all leave policies and procedures for use and approval is expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
