Re: Good Idea, depending on circumstances
This is for HOUSE BILL NO. 1021, which states
B. The head of each agency shall set annual percentage targets for the number of positions eligible for alternative work schedules. By July 1, 2009, each state agency shall have a goal of not less than 25 percent of its eligible workforce participating in alternative work schedules. By January 1, 2010, each state agency shall have a goal of not less than 20 percent of its eligible workforce telecommuting.
I work for a local school system that gives me remote access, but does not allow telecommuting, except for rare circumstances. Basically, I find it too distracting at home and most always do not have the resources that I need locally.
I am betting that this bill will be killed in comittee. It sets a "goal" not a requirement. There's a big loophole. My goal is to be a millionaire by 2008. It's not realistic, but it's a goal. |
