Overseas Telework

Questions and answers

Generally, the provisions of the Telework Enhancement Act apply to employees applying for permission to telework under an approved DETO agreement. Therefore, eligibility is subject to any limitations described in the law or individual agency DETO policy requirements, and legally binding collective bargaining agreements. Eligibility for a DETO arrangement is not a guarantee of employing agency or State Department approval.
