Telework approval is at the sole discretion of the agency head and is not subject to appeal or grievance. Telework is not an expressed or implied employee right or benefit; rather, it is a staffing and work arrangement at the sole discretion of management.
Welcome to the Telework Wyoming official webpage for State of Wyoming employees. The Wyoming Department of Administration & Information (A&I), Human Resources Division, in collaboration with multiple state agencies, developed the new Telework Wyoming policy to modernize, streamline and update the State of Wyoming telework process. This webpage was established to provide easy access to information on the telework policy, eligibility, approval process, instructions for completing an agreement, training for both employees and supervisors as well as other pertinent information.
Telework is not necessarily a suitable work-arrangement for everyone. Certain positions can be eligible for telework, as well as certain employees. It is not an employee benefit or right. Telework remains at the sole discretion of management. Individual agencies decide how many employees will telework and what types of telework (full-time, part-time, intermittent or temporary) is appropriate for their employees.
APPROVAL PROCESS
Please follow the steps below if you or your supervisor are interested in implementing a Telework Agreement.

Step 3: Agency Management Evaluation/Decision
The employee's agency management team will evaluate the inquiry for telework based on the agency's criteria:
No, the employee and/or job criteria are not met, and the agency management team will not move forward with telework, go to Step 4.
Yes, the employee and job criteria are met, and the agency management team will move forward with telework, skip to Step 5.
Agency Management can use the flow-charts below to help determine eligibility.
Step 4: Denied Inquiry
If the inquiry is denied:
The supervisor meets with the employee to discuss the reason(s) why the employee or job criteria do not meet the telework selection criteria.
The employee and supervisor can explore alternatives to telework, if any are available.
Step 5: Approved Inquiry
If the inquiry is approved:
The supervisor contacts the agency’s HRD representative to make an official request to telework.
The supervisor and employee explore the Telework Toolkit for training, best practices, and important resources. Telework Wyoming training resources include training courses that agency management may require.
