Question

Scenario A In an effort to add extra time to their flex schedules, several employees have been skipping their lunch hours and adding the time to their weekly telework day. Instead of the one day telework day, many employees have been able to add a half day, and in some cases, an extra full day to their scheduled telework day away from the office. This misuse and manipulation of flex-time scheduling is causing serious challenges for the payroll office that has to confirm hours worked, and for management, which has to often reconfigure office work schedules at the last minute to determine the correct compensation for employees who are taking extra days out. Your Task: Write a memo to company employees explaining the new telework policy. Make sure that you explain the problems with the way that employees have been abusing the current policy.

This misuse and manupulation of flex time scheduling is causing major challenges for payroll office that has to confirm hours worked.The management has trouble in reconfiguring office work schedules at the last minute to decide the correct compensation for employees who are taking extra days out.

The new telework policy includes no request for the change in work schdule shall be approved by the management before looking at all the requests of all employees and grant any request. Management make every effort to accomodate employees preferences but not at the cost of troubling company or managment. Skipping lunch hours for compensating the work is not permisable. Employees are recommended to adhere to the new teleworking policy.
