REMOTE Act (Federal Telework Monitoring & Reporting)
Current understanding
The REMOTE Act is an introduced bill that would require federal executive agencies to track and compare computer network activity between teleworking and on-site employees, and to report telework-related performance deficiencies to the Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Council. For federal workers, this would formalize network-activity monitoring as a basis for evaluating telework performance; for agencies, it would add a new tracking, comparison, and reporting obligation feeding into governmentwide human capital oversight. Status: introduced.
