In plain language
Four definitions, and they operate only inside the telework subchapter. An alternative worksite is a location in the employee's home that the employee designates for performing official duties, or another location the appointing authority approves. The official reporting location is where the employee reports when not working at an alternative worksite or in the field. Telework is the performance of official duties at an alternative worksite. The fourth needs care. For purposes of this subchapter, reasonable accommodation means a modification to an employee's work environment made pursuant to existing State and Federal law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, and requests must be approved through established ADA and human resources channels by the appointing authority. That is narrower than the ordinary sense of the phrase, and it carries no meaning outside this subchapter.
