Bill > HR7201

This bill, known as the "Earn Your Keep Act," aims to reinstate the pre-pandemic telework policies of Executive agencies. Specifically, it requires the head of each Executive agency to reinstate the telework policies that were in place on December 31, 2019, within 30 days of the bill's enactment. The bill also establishes a rule of construction that the reinstated telework policy will take precedence over any conflicting provisions in other employment agreements. Furthermore, the bill mandates the removal of any employees who do not comply with the reinstated telework policy, and their positions will be eliminated. Additionally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to submit a report to Congress analyzing the locality pay and geographic location of the teleworking work sites of Executive agency employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
