PILOT TELECOMMUTING POLICY
After several discussions between CSEA and OCA, we are happy to announce an expansion of the pilot telecommuting initiative six months ahead of schedule. This expansion will fold in more titles (see attached agreement at Exhibit A) with a roll out proposed for May 19, 2025. At this time, the UCS is not amenable to adding more titles in or increasing the number of days for this phase. They bumped up the Phase 2 time frame and need to allow for more time to go by to see success in the program before potentially expanding it further. CSEA has also asked that the Judges are informed that this program may be extended to CSEA members in their Chambers (law clerks) with the caveat that it still needs to be based on basic pillars of the policy so that it mirrors the program should they want to offer it.
As with the initial rollout, OCA will be sending emails to any and all titles included in this expansion with specific instructions on how to apply. Please note that with the addition of the Analyst titles, it will be duty-specific as listed on the attached list. Please do not ask your local officers if your specific job duties will qualify for telecommuting as it would be impossible for us to know what every member’s job duties are. This should be dealt with through your specific manager/clerk. As a reminder, if you are denied the ability to telecommute, it is not subject to the grievance procedure, but rather there is an appeal process in place within the program.
