ELS deputies may largely choose to telework or come into the office, at their option. We are a litigation section, so there are some times when in-office attendance will be required for meetings, court appearances, or other operational reasons.
Otherwise, deputies may freely telework if that is their preference. Deputies are expected to be able to report to the office if an urgent need arises and are expected to be available for meetings and to respond to emails and phone calls during regular business hours.
