On July 29, 2005, we briefed Congress on the results of our review of telework methodologies at the Departments of Commerce (DOC), Justice (DOJ), State, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This report transmits the information provided during that briefing. Specifically, Congress had asked us to provide information on and analysis of the methodology that each of the five agencies used to define employees eligible to telecommute, the methods each agency used to make telecommuting opportunities available to eligible employees and what those opportunities are, and how each agency defines and measures telecommuting participation rates. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1055R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1055R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1055R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1055R.pdf GAO-05-1055R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1055R Correspondence GAO-05-1055R; Agency Telework Methodologies: Departments of Commerce, Justice, State, the Small Business Administration, and the Securities and Exchange Commission; Eligibility criteria Eligibility determinations Federal employees Statistical data Surveys Telecommuting Public Law 108-447
