Revenue revised its' telework policy in September 2010. The Virtual Office Policy provides telework policy and procedural guidance for Revenue employees and their supervisors. It also provides for the use of alternative work strategies to reduce Revenue's costs and environmental impact.

You can view Revenue's Virtual Office Policy and supporting documents below.

• Virtual Office Policy — The policy framework for telework at Revenue.
• Procedures for Participation — Detailed telework procedures for Revenue employees and their supervisors.
• Participation Workflow — A workflow map of the Virtual Office participation process.
• Procedures for Administration — Procedures for administering the Virtual Office Policy.
• Virtual Office Agreement — An agreement between Revenue and teleworkers that establishes the terms and conditions of a virtual office arrangement.

Revenue is gathering data to update the number of teleworking employees and the financial benefits that result from telework. We will keep the information on this page current as we receive it.

Not only does our agency benefit from cost saving opportunities related to telework but our employees save time, gas, and money. Our communities benefit from reduced traffic congestion and everybody benefits from decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

Revenue’s Virtual Office Policy includes methods for consistently measuring telework’s effects on energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and leased space requirements. Those measurements were implemented in September 2010 and the future results will be reported on this site.

Revenue identifies positions that are suitable for telework based on the job duties of each position. In addition to the position requirements, individual employees must have the ability to work independently and successfully communicate with customers, coworkers and their supervisor. You can view the guidelines Revenue uses to determine eligibility below.

• Guidelines for Evaluating Position Eligibility — a tool managers use to determine if the job duties of positions are suitable for telework.
• Employee Individual Self-Assessment — a tool to help employees decide if they have suitable characteristics to telework.
