GESTA has filed a grievance alleging that the use of situational telework (ST) in Code 500 is not being decided by supervisors on a case-by-case basis, as required by NASA’s Office of Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) (see guidance below), but instead a mandate has been issued by the head of Code 500 disallowing the use of situational telework for almost all circumstances. This is based on feedback provided by many bargaining unit employees (BUEs), some supervisors, and comments by the head of Code 500, Segrid Harris.
To this end, GESTA also filed a Request For Information (RFI) requesting data on the ST hours granted within Code 500 and Code 600. The chart below is the result, which covers the first three full pay periods immediately following the return-to-office mandate. Note, GESTA has added in the last column and the percentages as a fraction of employees with ST agreements. |
