VA HB554

Requires state agencies to establish telecommuting and alternative work schedule policies that maximize eligible employee participation without diminishing performance or service delivery

Mandates eligibility determinations be based on operational needs and duties performed rather than job titles, with justification required for positions deemed ineligible

Expands annual reporting requirements to include the number of employees approved and denied telecommuting eligibility, and whether participation changes result from workforce size changes, position reclassifications, or expanded opportunities

Requires the Department of Human Resource Management to review the statewide telecommuting policy every two years and publish the reviewed policy with effective dates on its website

Maintains existing goals of at least 25% of eligible workforce participating in alternative work schedules and 20% telecommuting (except Department of State Police)
