The Telework Reform Act also would authorize noncompetitive hiring of military and law enforcement spouses into remote work positions.

      What exactly is the difference?

      Like I looked up Telework and the first definition is exactly what I’d assume remote work is.

        For federal work, it’s all about the duty station. For telework, the duty station is a federal building.

        For remote work, the duty station is your home.

        That’s because the difference has only just been defined and codified in this new bill. It would seem that remote work is fully remote, while telework would require you to come into the office occasionally.

        Telework is the ability to temporarily work at a different location. Remote work is permanent working from a different location.
