Evaluation of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Telework Program

The Office of the Inspector General identified several issues with the use and oversight of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s telework program, including missing telework agreements and inaccurate telework records, both of which are required by law for proper program administration.  Additionally, we found inadequate compliance with documentation standards, which could result in inconsistent adherence to policies and inaccuracies in employee records. Finally, we identified discrepancies in some official duty stations and failure to comply with telework agreement terms, potentially resulting in incorrect locality pay.
This report makes seven recommendations to strengthen the telework program’s document management and oversight processes to ensure full compliance with federal laws and regulations.
