It requires federal agencies to include in their telework policies: (1) annual goals for increasing the percentage of employees participating in telework at various frequencies (e.g., 3 days per pay period, 1 day per pay period, once per month), and (2) methods for collecting data and reporting cost savings achieved through telework, such as savings related to travel, energy use, and real estate.
