Hi Ellen,
State of Alaska's Telework policy - https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/WNE_CM8AK1UkMO5GSwDH3t?domain=doa.alaska.gov

Section II. Guidelines

K. Teleworking is not intended to be a substitute for dependent care. Employees shall continue to make arrangements for child/dependent care to the same extent as if the employee was in the workplace. However, having a dependent at home will not necessarily prohibit an employee teleworking. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Supervisors can suspend TWAs for employees who use them to enable child/dependent care.

Thanks

________________________________
We are looking at some issues with our remote work policy and are wondering if any other states address remote work and not allowing it to be a replacement for child care? Currently, ours says this:

Dependent Care. Remote work hours are regular work hours and are not a substitute for dependent care.

Thanks for any information you can provide!
