Application and Agreement. 1. At any time, an employee may request to telework by submitting a telework application to the immediate supervisor. If the employee requests a meeting, such meeting will be held with the supervisor to discuss the request. 2. All employees who have been approved to telework must complete and sign a telework agreement. The agreement must be in place before telework may begin. This agreement will outline the specific telework arrangement. The agreement may be reviewed and adjusted during the life of the agreement. Normally, the agreement and the application will be reviewed, approved or disapproved and, if approved, finalized within ten (10) working days of the request. If the request is denied, the supervisor will respond in writing and include the reasons for the denial. 3. For situational and medical telecommuting requests, Management will attempt to expedite the review process to the extent necessary and possible. 4. Official NETL telework forms will be used for this process. The Union will be notified in advance of any proposed changes to these forms and may bargain over changes consistent with applicable law.
