DC Federal Workers Offered Telework Due to Military Parade | JQJO

Federal agencies in Washington D.C. are recommended to allow telework or leave for employees later this week due to anticipated severe traffic congestion from a military parade on Saturday. The parade, celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary, is expected to cause significant gridlock. OPM's memo advises agencies to approve telework or time off to mitigate disruption. This recommendation follows a similar move by the Agriculture Department, which temporarily relocated staff. The decision comes after President Trump ended regular federal telework earlier this year.
