REMOTE Act
This bill requires federal agencies to collect and report specific data on teleworking employees. Agencies must track daily logins, connection duration, and network traffic for remote workers, retaining this data for three years. They must publish annual reports comparing telework patterns (like average logins) to in-office work patterns in budget documents, while protecting personal information. The bill directly affects all federal employees working remotely under approved telework agreements and their agency managers, who must also document reasons for revoking telework privileges.
