Does an employee have a right to Telework? Could an employee be forced to work at home?
Answer – No, to both questions. Subject to any applicable union agreement, management decides whether the employee can work off-site, depending on the nature of the position and the characteristics of the employee. Management has the right to end an employee’s use of the Telework option if, for example, the employee’s performance declines or if the arrangement no longer meets the organization’s needs.
