The County recognizes the business, societal, and personal benefits available through a carefully planned and managed telework program. Telework, as a work program, enables the County to optimize resources and maintain employee productivity during County, State or Federal emergencies. Telework, as an element of transportation management programs, can also help the County support social responsibility and the State of California’s climate goals and ease traffic congestion in our communities.
County Telework Program
Telework (also known as telecommuting) is an alternative work arrangement available to qualifying County employees to work from a remote workplace, such as one’s home or satellite office, rather than commuting to a designated worksite. You must have a signed Telework Agreement on file with your department in order to telework.

Time Reporting

- Telework hours are reported in a separate row distinct from typical time reporting. EMACS users should use companion code TELWO for this row.
- Telework time reporting is used solely for tracking purposes and will not be used to calculate pay or benefits.
- Contact your department’s payroll specialist if you have questions on how to report your time.
