Interior Team,
We are all incredibly appreciative of how hard everyone across the Interior Department is working to support the important and critical work of our agency as we adjust to the all of government COVID-19 response, while continuing to manage the impacts of the pandemic on our personal lives. Thank you for all you are doing.
To get us started down the path toward resuming normal operating conditions, this memorandum modifies some terms and extends other terms, through May 23, 2020, of previous guidance regarding telework and leave options.
Telework will no longer be mandatory for all telework-ready Interior employees once their work locality passes into the Phase 1 gate as described on our COVID SharePoint site which contains the same information as above.
