Show Up to Work Act

Section 6502(b)(2) of title 5, United States Code, is amended—

(1) in subsection (A), by striking and at the end; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

(C) shall be reviewed on a quarterly basis and be subject to the approval of the head of the executive agency; and

(D) provides that an employee may not telework for more than 25 percent of the workdays of the employee per pay period, except that this limitation may be waived by the head of the executive agency on an individual basis if the head of the agency certifies in writing to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs that additional telework for that individual will improve agency efficiency and performance and provides in writing to the committees an explanation of why it will do so in that employee’s case.

Nothing in this Act shall be construed to provide any employee with a right to telework or to prohibit the head of any agency from further restricting telework.

The amendments made in subsection (a) shall take effect on the date that is 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
