than 80 exception of policies to make

00:55.038 --> 00:56.927
sure that we can BCS and received

00:56.927 --> 00:59.270
people do this pandemic . I understand

00:59.270 --> 01:01.437
that some people are looking for me to

01:01.437 --> 01:03.603
provide it to find date when we became

01:03.603 --> 01:05.659
begin to return back to work , but I

01:05.659 --> 01:07.826
can't as the environment is very fluid

01:07.826 --> 01:09.960
and different for each location . But

01:09.960 --> 01:12.071
we will continue to do is work with a

01:12.071 --> 01:14.127
partner location . It's to make sure

01:14.127 --> 01:15.960

not initiate a back to work on an until

01:22.404 --> 01:24.516
the location is ready to do so . What

01:24.516 --> 01:26.460
we can expect is for each region ,

01:26.460 --> 01:28.627
locations move in a different speed to

01:28.627 --> 01:30.627
reduce restrictions currently being

01:30.627 --> 01:32.849
imposed . It was very important to stay

01:32.849 --> 01:34.904
engaged with your leadership and the

01:34.904 --> 01:37.016
rules being implemented by your local

01:37.016 --> 01:39.127
teams . We also want to reiterate the

01:39.127 --> 01:41.293
importance of reinforce bonds and make

01:41.293 --> 01:43.460
our team strong . So it's important to

01:43.460 --> 01:45.571

Flirtinis . The amazing work . As an

01:47.627 --> 01:49.793
organization , we very delivered about

02:51.730 --> 02:54.290
you all for joining us in this town

02:54.290 --> 02:57.160
hall on why we continue to operate in

02:57.160 --> 03:00.380
this new , normal covet environment .

03:00.410 --> 03:02.188
It's vital that we maintain our

03:02.188 --> 03:04.220
connections with each other . We're

03:04.220 --> 03:06.331
often seeing additional stressors and

03:06.331 --> 03:08.400
because of that , communication and

03:08.400 --> 03:11.320
engagement is key . Although we're

03:11.320 --> 03:12.931
geographically separated and

03:12.931 --> 03:14.987
teleworking , we can use the digital

03:14.987 --> 03:17.160
tools we have to strengthen our teams

03:17.360 --> 03:20.590
and our bonds . One way to engage and

03:20.590 --> 03:23.160
communicate is the upcoming federal

03:23.170 --> 03:25.900
employee viewpoint survey that should

03:25.900 --> 03:28.122
be out next month . It only takes about

03:28.122 --> 03:30.590
10 minutes to complete its confidential ,

03:30.960 --> 03:34.310
and we do use the results to apply

03:34.310 --> 03:36.477
positive changes to the organization .

03:36.477 --> 03:38.643
So please take the time , be a part of

03:38.643 --> 03:40.699
that conversation and help us change

03:40.699 --> 03:43.000

03:43.000 --> 03:45.420
starting a few initiatives to have an

03:45.420 --> 03:47.390
ongoing conversation across the

03:47.390 --> 03:50.550
enterprise on some of those include me

03:50.550 --> 03:53.180

03:53.190 --> 03:55.700

04:01.380 --> 04:03.860
new employee engagement council or in

16:30.160 --> 16:32.104
want to go into the transformation

16:32.104 --> 16:34.216
process kind of given up date , which

16:34.216 --> 16:37.030
is not enough . They and then our goals .

16:37.030 --> 16:39.200

16:39.200 --> 16:41.367
this evolution and staying improve Our

16:41.367 --> 16:43.422
mission requirements take care about

16:43.422 --> 16:45.644
picked a better care of our people were

16:45.644 --> 16:47.811
continuous conversations of CME okay .

16:47.811 --> 16:50.020
And the deputy Secretary of Defense on

16:50.020 --> 16:52.840
how we do that and move forward as we

16:52.840 --> 16:55.550
continue to go ahead with this plan .

16:55.550 --> 16:57.717
We understand that we're reviewing how

16:57.717 --> 16:59.939
we do that . There's no better place to

16:59.939 --> 17:01.939
do it . What we've learned from the

17:01.939 --> 17:04.106
pandemic there is an update on the SCS

17:04.106 --> 17:05.939
position . But that big director

17:05.939 --> 17:08.106
position has been offered to in it and

17:08.106 --> 17:10.620
been accepted . Would a follow on who

17:10.620 --> 17:12.690
this is until they are complete the

17:12.690 --> 17:14.690
hiring process ? But we expect this

17:14.690 --> 17:17.170
person to be in the building and vm a

17:17.170 --> 17:19.240
late September . As for the geo

17:19.240 --> 17:21.296
position that's still being worked ,

17:21.296 --> 17:22.851
But we haven't I don't have

17:22.851 --> 17:24.573
confirmation this time , but I

17:24.573 --> 17:26.351
understand , Mr Hopping Summers

17:26.351 --> 17:28.462
continue to push to have a lot of the

17:28.462 --> 17:31.380
position of director , uh , for removal

17:31.380 --> 17:33.658
on start made You have anything to add ?

17:34.810 --> 17:36.820
Ah , yes , sir . Thanks . Ah , and

17:36.830 --> 17:39.550
along that same same vein as faras

17:39.550 --> 17:41.661
transformation . While we continue on

17:41.661 --> 17:43.470
this transformation path , it's

17:43.470 --> 17:45.240
important that the entire team

17:45.240 --> 17:47.890
understands where we're headed , which

17:47.890 --> 17:49.834
is why we continuously try to give

17:49.834 --> 17:52.600
these updates and also how they're

17:52.600 --> 17:54.600
contributing to the future of our

17:54.600 --> 17:57.060
organization . So although there will

17:57.060 --> 17:59.300
be changes ahead , what definitely will

17:59.300 --> 18:01.480
not change is the importance of our

18:01.480 --> 18:04.800
teammates on with that . Pass it back

18:04.800 --> 18:06.856
to you stir for us to take questions

18:06.856 --> 18:09.290
from those teammates for that or open

18:09.290 --> 18:11.346
to your questions . We have the same

18:11.346 --> 18:13.401
team , that sentiment . Experts here

18:13.401 --> 18:15.568
that we've had the last few town halls

18:15.568 --> 18:17.512
at this time , like last time star

18:17.512 --> 18:19.679
major . Not we turn off our video feed

18:19.679 --> 18:21.512
that we can say band with on the

18:21.512 --> 18:23.568
streaming ready for your questions .

18:24.940 --> 18:28.400
Okay , First question is for Terry

18:28.400 --> 18:31.030
Meadows . In many areas , working

18:31.030 --> 18:33.252
parents are forced to home school their

18:33.252 --> 18:35.252
Children . Many families are either

18:35.252 --> 18:37.419
single parent or both parents work and

18:37.419 --> 18:39.586
daycare options aren't available right

18:39.586 --> 18:41.752
now . So what kind of flexibility , if

18:41.752 --> 18:43.919
any , will the command and therefore ,

18:43.919 --> 18:46.086
first line supervisors of Ford parents

18:46.086 --> 18:48.086
who have to tend to Children during

18:48.086 --> 18:51.990
their normal work day ? Thank you , Joe .

18:52.000 --> 18:55.100
Uh , that's ah , very good question .

18:55.330 --> 18:58.080
So D o . D . Granted a temporary waiver

18:58.080 --> 19:01.050
to the telework policy that last

19:01.580 --> 19:03.524
carries on through the end of this

19:03.524 --> 19:05.630
calendar year . Ah , and that's to

19:05.630 --> 19:07.670
allow employees to telework in

19:07.670 --> 19:09.837
situations like this where you have to

19:09.837 --> 19:12.690
provide chow care as well as dependent

19:12.690 --> 19:16.460
care . Um , for , um for people that

19:16.460 --> 19:19.190
they oversee , we understand that this

19:19.190 --> 19:21.840
is a very important situation right now

19:21.840 --> 19:24.750
because many school districts have

19:24.750 --> 19:27.590
decided to start back either completely

19:27.590 --> 19:30.990
virtual or in a hybrid situation . So

19:31.200 --> 19:33.640
we understand that child care is a very

19:33.640 --> 19:36.670
important thing . So we've deal the D .

19:36.670 --> 19:39.010
M . A has actually followed the D . O .

19:39.240 --> 19:42.760
D policy and extended that as well to

19:42.760 --> 19:45.120
allow employees to actually ah ,

19:45.180 --> 19:47.347
complete childcare while teleworking .

19:47.347 --> 19:49.630
What we ask you to do , though , is to

19:49.630 --> 19:51.700
work with your supervisors to ensure

19:51.700 --> 19:54.430
that , ah , while you are providing

19:54.430 --> 19:58.420
care for your people that you

19:58.420 --> 20:00.850
have to make sure that you are , uh ,

20:01.540 --> 20:03.596
taking care of your responsibilities

20:03.596 --> 20:05.151
for DMH . And that's just a

20:05.151 --> 20:06.984
communication thing . You know ,

20:06.984 --> 20:08.984
Sergeant Major has tapped on this a

20:08.984 --> 20:11.151
couple of times this morning already .

20:11.151 --> 20:13.480
It is so critical for supervisors and

20:13.480 --> 20:16.040
employees toe have that dialogue so

20:16.040 --> 20:18.262
that we can actually work through these

20:18.262 --> 20:20.484
situations . We're prepared to help you

20:20.484 --> 20:22.700
out in any way we can . We will adjust

20:22.710 --> 20:24.890
policies as much as we possibly can ,

20:25.020 --> 20:27.131
but the way we're going to do that is

20:27.131 --> 20:28.742
by communication through the

20:28.742 --> 20:30.742
supervisors and the employees , and

20:30.742 --> 20:32.742
that's both on the military and the

20:32.742 --> 20:34.798
civilian side as well . So hopefully

20:34.798 --> 20:37.020
that provides Ah , solid , responsive ,

20:37.020 --> 20:39.020
more more is needed . Let me know .

20:39.020 --> 20:41.460
I'll be more than happy to try to , uh ,

20:41.470 --> 20:45.470
expound on that . Thank you , Terry .

20:45.470 --> 20:47.414
And on that note , if you have any

20:47.414 --> 20:49.470
questions , please feel free to post

20:49.470 --> 20:51.692
them on our Facebook page or the Google

20:51.692 --> 20:54.260
chats . Next question is for Craig

20:54.260 --> 20:56.610
McKerrow her . Our Pacific team and

20:56.610 --> 20:58.777
clients are excited about the new a FN

20:58.777 --> 21:00.943
app . Can you give us an update on the

21:00.943 --> 21:02.777
timeline for the rollout and the

21:02.777 --> 21:04.832
current capabilities being developed

21:05.340 --> 21:08.930
Highs . You can , um , so we're

21:09.080 --> 21:10.802
right now , we're still in the

21:10.802 --> 21:12.810
development phase for a lot of the

21:12.820 --> 21:15.170
things going on , you know , developing

21:15.170 --> 21:17.281
the application itself . How ? Look ,

21:17.281 --> 21:20.170
think capabilities . Um , right now ,

21:20.170 --> 21:22.790
the timeline is to have those

21:22.790 --> 21:25.680
developments completed enough to do a

21:25.690 --> 21:28.910
Ah , an initial test just inside with a

21:28.910 --> 21:32.470
select few in October mid

21:32.470 --> 21:36.390
October . And then , uh , hopefully

21:36.390 --> 21:39.040
that will get us to to fix everything

21:39.050 --> 21:41.217
that we see needs to be fixed , and we

21:41.217 --> 21:43.217
get the process moved out . So that

21:43.217 --> 21:45.328
were ready for a beta test , which is

21:45.328 --> 21:47.340
in the , uh , which right now is

21:47.340 --> 21:49.562
scheduled to be in the Pacific region .

21:49.562 --> 21:51.507
Um , and that test is scheduled to

21:51.507 --> 21:54.870
begin in January . The beta test will

21:54.870 --> 21:57.930
be with much larger users up to 15,000

21:57.930 --> 22:00.910
people , and we're currently developing

22:00.910 --> 22:03.680
the the user test plan for that so we

22:03.680 --> 22:05.902
can notify people of when it's coming ,

22:05.902 --> 22:08.700
how to register , what to do . And then

22:08.800 --> 22:10.911
in May is when we're supposed be full

22:10.911 --> 22:13.078
operations . I keep saying to Supposed

22:13.078 --> 22:15.244
to be because Cove it has , you know ,

22:15.244 --> 22:17.189
certainly slopes and things down .

22:17.189 --> 22:19.244
We've got some installations of here

22:19.244 --> 22:21.133
where it's limited access . Soave

22:21.133 --> 22:23.356
arises . Not able wasn't able to get in

22:23.356 --> 22:25.578
until some buildings open up , so we're

22:25.578 --> 22:28.360
still on target for May . If things

22:28.360 --> 22:30.360
change , then we'll have to slide a

22:30.360 --> 22:32.850
little bit . Possibly as far as

22:32.850 --> 22:36.150
capabilities go similar

22:36.150 --> 22:39.530
to most of your other applications for

22:39.530 --> 22:41.730
for streaming , it'll have video on

22:41.730 --> 22:44.290
demand . So keep in mind we're limited

22:44.290 --> 22:46.770
Teoh , which is not much of a

22:46.770 --> 22:48.937
limitation . But we're limited to what

22:48.937 --> 22:52.600
we have provided at Riverside in our

22:52.600 --> 22:56.010
library currently , so those libraries

22:56.010 --> 22:57.954
could be made available with we're

22:57.954 --> 23:00.066
doing digital rights managements . We

23:00.066 --> 23:02.370
have to get permission to make all all

23:02.370 --> 23:04.960
of those media assets available in a

23:04.970 --> 23:07.660
digital distribution . Eso so it's

23:07.660 --> 23:09.980
possible that either some won't be

23:09.980 --> 23:12.420
available or some will be available

23:12.420 --> 23:14.476
with restrictions . Maybe they can't

23:14.476 --> 23:16.642
air in certain countries or they can't

23:16.642 --> 23:18.864
air unless you have certain i p address

23:18.864 --> 23:20.864
ranges . So those things were still

23:20.864 --> 23:23.490
working out on that video on demand

23:23.520 --> 23:25.730
format . There will be a catch up

23:25.730 --> 23:27.619
service so that there'll be a few

23:27.619 --> 23:29.730
episodes . So if you missed a week or

23:29.730 --> 23:31.508
two , you can go back and catch

23:31.508 --> 23:33.452
yourself up and , uh and then keep

23:33.452 --> 23:35.674
going . They'll also be movies in there

23:36.240 --> 23:39.100
for video on demand . And then , um ,

23:40.090 --> 23:42.146
of course , command information will

23:42.146 --> 23:44.257
will be a part of this . So if you're

23:44.257 --> 23:46.479
doing video on demand is to be some C I

23:46.479 --> 23:48.701
that plays were working with event with

23:48.701 --> 23:48.420
the vendor right now to ensure that

23:48.420 --> 23:50.680
people cannot skip over the sea I and

23:50.680 --> 23:52.791
jump straight to so that they have to

23:52.791 --> 23:54.791
have a little bit of C I with their

23:54.791 --> 23:58.750
product . They're viewing . Um , then

23:58.750 --> 24:01.220
we also have some live streaming . So

24:01.220 --> 24:04.230
we're still working on with our content

24:04.230 --> 24:06.341
providers for digital rights for live

24:06.341 --> 24:08.397
streaming as well . Uh , of course ,

24:08.397 --> 24:10.563
anything you do ah , over the Internet

24:10.563 --> 24:13.790
has different rights . So um , we're in

24:13.790 --> 24:15.957
the earlier stages there , so we don't

24:15.957 --> 24:18.480
have a full idea of who will allow us

24:18.480 --> 24:20.758
to stream live all the time to anybody .

24:20.758 --> 24:22.869
So we're still working that out . But

24:22.869 --> 24:24.924
we will have some life streaming for

24:24.924 --> 24:28.640
news and sports . And , um , again ,

24:28.640 --> 24:30.307
we'll just have to learn what

24:30.307 --> 24:32.418
limitations are in initially and then

24:32.418 --> 24:34.640
work those agreements through the years

24:34.640 --> 24:36.973
to get more and more . Added . So , sir ,

24:36.973 --> 24:39.196
but I think that answers the question .

24:39.196 --> 24:41.084
Or Joe , I think that answers the

24:41.084 --> 24:43.029
question back to you . Excellent .

24:43.029 --> 24:45.140
Thank you so much . Our next question

24:45.140 --> 24:47.580
is for Joe Sanders . Um , what is the

24:47.580 --> 24:49.802
timeline for the task management tool ,

24:49.802 --> 24:52.310
or TMT , And when can we expect to

24:52.310 --> 24:55.850
begin using it in the field ? Hey , Joe ,

24:55.850 --> 24:57.961
Thank you . That's a great question .

24:57.961 --> 25:00.183
They test made him a tool . We actually

25:00.183 --> 25:02.517
have our kickoff meeting next Wednesday ,

25:02.517 --> 25:04.683
the 19th in the morning . And based on

25:04.683 --> 25:06.294
that kick off meeting in our

25:06.294 --> 25:08.350
conversation of the program office ,

25:08.350 --> 25:10.350
the timeline takes about 30 days to

25:10.350 --> 25:12.461
build the systems environment . So it

25:12.461 --> 25:14.517
because about 30 days do that . Uh ,

25:14.517 --> 25:16.517
during the end of that time , we'll

25:16.517 --> 25:18.739
start the training and that goes on for

25:18.739 --> 25:20.739
as long as it takes to get our user

25:20.739 --> 25:22.850
strain , which is usually about up to

25:22.850 --> 25:24.961
45 days . And their goal is to have a

25:24.961 --> 25:27.128
fully operational capable within about

25:27.128 --> 25:29.239
100 days of the kickoff meeting . And

25:29.239 --> 25:31.461
that's based on our , ah , how we adapt

25:31.461 --> 25:33.628
to it . And we get our training pushed

25:33.628 --> 25:35.683
out to the people here using it . So

25:35.683 --> 25:37.794
with the kickoff starting next week ,

25:37.794 --> 25:39.961
I'll say , we'll start using it within

25:39.961 --> 25:42.017
about 20 to 30 days , and then we'll

25:42.017 --> 25:44.183
get a fully , uh , pushed out in about

25:44.183 --> 25:46.239
no later than about 120 days . So we

25:46.239 --> 25:48.128
should be using that here here by

25:48.128 --> 25:50.294
September . And we'll get her by up on

25:50.294 --> 25:52.572
that and running before Christmas . Uh ,

25:52.572 --> 25:55.190
thanks . Over . Great . Thank you so

25:55.190 --> 25:57.730
much . Um , our next question is for

25:57.730 --> 25:59.730
Chris Hop . Would I heard we're all

25:59.730 --> 26:01.952
getting new laptops for production . Is

26:01.952 --> 26:03.897
that true ? And if so , what's the

26:03.897 --> 26:07.270
timeline ? Well , that's a great

26:07.270 --> 26:10.260
question . Uh , all getting laptops is

26:10.270 --> 26:12.500
is pretty , uh , pretty broad based .

26:12.790 --> 26:14.680
What we started off with was a

26:14.690 --> 26:17.850
recommendation to take care of those

26:17.860 --> 26:19.916
groups that are have been negatively

26:19.916 --> 26:22.860
impacted by the tele work arrangement

26:22.860 --> 26:25.200
that we have under coded . For example ,

26:25.210 --> 26:28.790
uh , Riverside is , uh , making do with

26:28.800 --> 26:31.022
everything that we could do through the

26:31.022 --> 26:33.078
hand me downs and trickle bounds and

26:33.078 --> 26:35.133
Guillermo assets that have not quite

26:35.133 --> 26:37.730
made it over to the r M O . There's a

26:37.740 --> 26:39.851
There's a need there that needs to be

26:39.851 --> 26:41.851
met immediately . In the meantime ,

26:41.851 --> 26:44.073
there are working groups going on , and

26:44.073 --> 26:46.184
I believe that's being headed up by ,

26:46.184 --> 26:48.407
uh , Mr Rick Blackburn Teoh . Determine

26:48.407 --> 26:50.684
what the actual requirement looks like .

26:50.684 --> 26:52.907
Four laptops versus towers to make sure

26:52.907 --> 26:55.840
that we is Ah , as a workforce are

26:56.650 --> 26:58.872
highly mobile and able to tell the work

26:58.872 --> 27:01.094
or work remotely , and that's a part of

27:01.094 --> 27:03.094
the process as well . Many of those

27:03.094 --> 27:04.817
requirements have already been

27:04.817 --> 27:06.761
identified , and they are actually

27:06.761 --> 27:08.970
ready for a contracting action of some

27:08.970 --> 27:11.081
of that will be depended upon what we

27:11.081 --> 27:12.914
can do in the terms of fallout .

27:12.914 --> 27:15.026
Otherwise , they will fall into the Q

27:15.026 --> 27:18.940
one of 21 for processing as a standard

27:18.940 --> 27:21.680
requirement . Hope that answers

27:21.680 --> 27:25.520
question . Thank you . Um ,

27:25.530 --> 27:28.620
our next question is for Dave Rouse .

27:29.110 --> 27:31.054
What protective measures are being

27:31.054 --> 27:32.888
implemented for a teammates that

27:32.888 --> 27:35.054
continue to be required to go into the

27:35.054 --> 27:37.166
office to perform essential functions

27:37.166 --> 27:38.999
such as plexi glass and cleaning

27:38.999 --> 27:41.600
elevator buttons . And essentially ,

27:41.610 --> 27:43.832
how are we keeping our teammates safe ?

27:45.750 --> 27:49.450
Question if somebody comes up all the

27:49.450 --> 27:51.690
time , not just here in our building ,

27:51.700 --> 27:53.700
but I also get from other locations

27:53.700 --> 27:56.210
around around , uh , where I know here

27:56.220 --> 27:58.340
remaining plexiglass shields both at

27:58.340 --> 28:00.760
the help desk and at the front desk .

28:01.340 --> 28:04.880
We have the , um , hand dispenser for

28:04.880 --> 28:06.936
the Sampas ations , outside of where

28:06.936 --> 28:08.991
the restroom , a couple of us around

28:08.991 --> 28:11.213
the building . In addition , we have an

28:11.213 --> 28:12.991
ongoing custodial , and they're

28:12.991 --> 28:14.824
following the CDC guidelines for

28:14.824 --> 28:17.047
cleaning frequently cut surfaces , door

28:17.047 --> 28:18.658
handles , elevator buttons ,

28:18.658 --> 28:20.380
countertops at a minimum , the

28:20.380 --> 28:22.602
beginning and end of the chip using any

28:22.602 --> 28:24.491
registered disaffected , which is

28:24.491 --> 28:26.580
specifically targeting for SARS cov

28:26.580 --> 28:30.580
into a k A cove in 19 . Even with all

28:30.580 --> 28:33.090
of Michigan measures , the greatest

28:33.090 --> 28:35.420
single element in keeping the workforce

28:35.420 --> 28:37.890
a does the personal accountability of

28:37.900 --> 28:40.270
every employee to follow the basic CBC

28:40.280 --> 28:42.840
protocols . Stay at home when you're

28:42.840 --> 28:45.660
sick , wash your hands regularly

28:46.040 --> 28:48.090
socially , distance when possible ,

28:48.490 --> 28:50.546
where a mass when social distance is

28:50.546 --> 28:53.640
impossible . I know that together we

28:53.640 --> 28:55.807
can emerge from this pandemic stronger

28:55.807 --> 28:57.640
and safer when we came into it .

29:02.040 --> 29:04.151
That's it . Right ? All right . Thank

29:04.151 --> 29:06.630
you , Dave . We have sort of a follow

29:06.630 --> 29:09.970
on question to that . Um , so regarding

29:09.970 --> 29:12.730
the new safety measures , how long is

29:12.730 --> 29:14.952
the effort made ? A time that they will

29:14.952 --> 29:17.119
be implemented And what is going to be

29:17.119 --> 29:19.370
the responsibility of service members

29:19.380 --> 29:21.213
regarding the cleaning process .

29:23.140 --> 29:25.880
So the only things left for us to get

29:25.880 --> 29:28.970
in is the plexiglass . Those are our GP

29:28.970 --> 29:31.081
sees right now as we get them install

29:31.280 --> 29:33.447
as far service members cleaning them .

29:33.530 --> 29:35.586
I don't expect any service member to

29:35.586 --> 29:37.641
clean them . They will be handled to

29:37.641 --> 29:41.160
the regular Custodio contract . Great .

29:41.160 --> 29:44.030
Thank you very much . Um , our next

29:44.040 --> 29:46.520
question is for Terry Meadows .

29:47.740 --> 29:50.000
What should we do if our supervisor

29:50.000 --> 29:52.090
does not allow for family care needs

29:52.090 --> 29:53.550
without being on leave ?

29:56.920 --> 30:00.070
Mm . Um , I think the first thing you

30:00.070 --> 30:02.630
need to do is obviously use your chain

30:02.640 --> 30:05.660
of command . Ah , if there is a

30:05.660 --> 30:07.990
situation or scenario in place for an

30:07.990 --> 30:10.340
employee that does not allow for them

30:10.340 --> 30:12.820
to provide dependent care , you have to

30:12.820 --> 30:14.876
elevated through the chain . You can

30:14.876 --> 30:18.510
also reach out to , um to me . Um and

30:18.510 --> 30:22.100
then we will , um , address accordingly .

30:22.360 --> 30:24.410
Um , it's always a case by case

30:24.410 --> 30:28.170
situation . These are not easy cookie

30:28.170 --> 30:30.930
cookie cookie cutter responses that

30:30.930 --> 30:32.930
supervisors have to do because they

30:32.930 --> 30:35.152
have the way the mission of G . M . A .

30:35.152 --> 30:37.319
They're also weighing the scenarios of

30:37.319 --> 30:39.840
each employee , and each scenario is

30:39.840 --> 30:42.440
different . So again , I'd say ,

30:42.440 --> 30:44.718
elevated through your chain of command .

30:44.718 --> 30:46.884
Um , you're more than welcome to reach

30:46.884 --> 30:50.250
out to me as well . Um , to see what

30:50.250 --> 30:52.590
type of assistance we can , um ,

30:52.830 --> 30:55.620
provide work to help that supervisor

30:55.620 --> 30:57.731
come up with a mitigating strategy to

30:57.731 --> 30:59.980
help that employees out . Understand ?

31:00.070 --> 31:02.550
It can go , uh , many different ways .

31:03.640 --> 31:06.780
Thank you . All right . Thank you . Um ,

31:06.790 --> 31:08.901
this next question , I think , is for

31:08.901 --> 31:11.068
Terry as well . And I just want to let

31:11.068 --> 31:13.290
everyone know this is the last question

31:13.290 --> 31:15.068
I have pending . So if you have

31:15.068 --> 31:17.179
anything , please post it on Facebook

31:17.179 --> 31:19.346
or chat . Now , Uh , Terry , has there

31:19.346 --> 31:22.150
been any update on flexibility from Big

31:22.160 --> 31:24.390
D o . D ? For example , the State

31:24.390 --> 31:27.440
Department was granted 10 hours of

31:27.450 --> 31:29.617
admin leave to handle pandemic related

31:29.617 --> 31:30.617
issues .

31:33.400 --> 31:36.330
So , um , not necessarily We haven't

31:36.330 --> 31:38.610
been . I haven't seen anything to come

31:38.610 --> 31:40.610
out that provides any kind of

31:40.620 --> 31:43.730
administrative leave for , Ah ,

31:43.740 --> 31:47.480
pandemic scenarios . The only thing

31:48.040 --> 31:50.600
that's new that that's popped out and

31:50.600 --> 31:53.300
it just just came across this week is

31:53.300 --> 31:57.260
OPM did actually published an interim

31:57.260 --> 31:59.400
regulation providing that kind of

31:59.400 --> 32:02.450
covers federal employees and the

32:02.450 --> 32:05.950
ability Teoh carry over leave ,

32:06.480 --> 32:08.900
um , opium put out their guidance . So

32:08.900 --> 32:12.770
now , within each of the components as

32:12.770 --> 32:15.650
well as the fourth Estate now they are

32:15.650 --> 32:18.190
in the process of creating the policies

32:18.450 --> 32:21.800
for , um , for personnel there fall

32:21.800 --> 32:24.760
under their their umbrella . So we hope

32:24.840 --> 32:26.896
within the next couple of weeks that

32:26.896 --> 32:28.562
will be able to push out some

32:28.562 --> 32:31.860
guidelines concerning , um , civilian

32:31.860 --> 32:33.804
employees being able to carry over

32:33.804 --> 32:35.790
leave . I can pretty much tell you

32:35.790 --> 32:37.800
everything that I've seen right now

32:38.010 --> 32:40.310
that will allow employees to carry over

32:40.310 --> 32:43.380
leave . It will have to be directly

32:43.740 --> 32:47.270
related to a covert scenario . Eso just

32:47.270 --> 32:50.290
a generic scenario that I was not able

32:50.290 --> 32:52.760
to take leave will not suffice . It

32:52.760 --> 32:55.130
will have to be covert related . That

32:55.140 --> 32:57.362
prevented an employee from taking Lee .

32:57.580 --> 32:59.770
With that being said , we always

32:59.770 --> 33:03.430
encourage employees to

33:03.430 --> 33:07.090
use their leaf that is on the books .

33:07.100 --> 33:09.100
There's nothing right now that will

33:09.100 --> 33:11.378
prevent employees from taking Lee . So ,

33:11.378 --> 33:14.040
um , to avoid getting in that scenario

33:14.040 --> 33:16.207
where you may actually be in a use , a

33:16.207 --> 33:19.580
lose situation if you , um , can use

33:19.580 --> 33:21.691
leave , you are encouraged to do so .

33:22.950 --> 33:26.300
That's it . All right . Thank you . We

33:26.300 --> 33:28.300
just got another question . Terry ,

33:28.300 --> 33:30.690
you're very popular . It's for you . Uh ,

33:30.700 --> 33:32.589
can we continue an alternate work

33:32.589 --> 33:36.030
schedule such such as Maxie Flex or

33:36.030 --> 33:37.808
Compressed Work schedule ? Were

33:37.808 --> 33:40.060
teleworking or is this supervisor

33:40.060 --> 33:43.740
determined ? Trapped Question . But the

33:43.740 --> 33:45.930
response here It's a supervisor

33:46.260 --> 33:48.630
scenario that has not changed .

33:48.640 --> 33:51.920
Supervisors have to be given that

33:51.980 --> 33:54.390
autonomy to manage their staff .

33:54.390 --> 33:56.920
They're responsible for accomplishing

33:56.920 --> 33:59.220
the mission . Supervisors need tohave

33:59.220 --> 34:01.470
that autonomy . And ah , it's their

34:01.470 --> 34:05.300
call . All right , thank you very

34:05.300 --> 34:07.467
much . So at this time , we don't have

34:07.467 --> 34:09.690
any more pending questions , but I know

34:09.690 --> 34:11.690
that Colonel Hutchison asked for an

34:11.690 --> 34:14.910
alibi . So Colonel Hutchison Hey ,

34:14.910 --> 34:17.120
thanks , Joe . I just want to make a

34:17.120 --> 34:20.160
plug for the Info Social Media Forum

34:20.420 --> 34:22.600
that some of you hopefully have heard

34:22.600 --> 34:25.130
about by now . But if not , you're

34:25.130 --> 34:28.300
hearing about it now . The Social Media

34:53.010 --> 34:55.130
participate . The sessions will be

34:55.130 --> 34:58.570
available on those days , but also on

34:58.570 --> 35:01.220

35:01.220 --> 35:03.442
tune in Wednesday , Thursday and Friday

35:03.442 --> 35:05.553

35:07.720 --> 35:09.887

35:11.776 --> 35:15.520
Thanks very much . Thank you . And at

35:15.520 --> 35:17.520
this time , we have no more pending

35:17.520 --> 35:19.464
questions . So Colonel Heuristic ,

35:19.464 --> 35:21.631
please feel free to go ahead with your

35:21.631 --> 35:23.840
closing remarks . A couple things ,

35:23.840 --> 35:26.750
Otis A poem from the human . Everybody

35:26.750 --> 35:30.340
got one . The question Secretary I

35:30.670 --> 35:32.892
in heinous team are doing the best they

35:32.892 --> 35:34.781
can to make sure that we have the

35:34.781 --> 35:37.003
latest and greatest from the last one .

35:37.003 --> 35:39.090
The most recent one about leave . I

35:39.100 --> 35:41.320
think everybody needs time away . He's

35:41.320 --> 35:44.060
a mental break . My advice would be if

35:44.060 --> 35:46.227
you work with your leadership and your

35:46.227 --> 35:48.282
supervisors . Thanks in time even if

35:48.282 --> 35:50.449
it's a staycation , we do one of those

35:50.449 --> 35:52.980
here being my family and I think that

35:52.980 --> 35:55.202
is good . Just toe to separate a little

35:55.202 --> 35:57.670
bit . So look at that suit scheduled to

35:57.680 --> 36:00.890
do otherwise that you you're gonna be

36:00.890 --> 36:02.946
at the termination with D o d . Says

36:02.946 --> 36:05.930
about carrying on uh I p streaming uh ,

36:05.940 --> 36:07.870
Craig hit on . See , I want to re

36:07.870 --> 36:10.580
emphasize that a little bit , but the

36:10.580 --> 36:12.780
point for the die free streaming was

36:12.790 --> 36:16.500
help us Target R C I so that we're not

36:16.500 --> 36:19.470
watching blue pages from Japan and

36:19.470 --> 36:21.581
Germany , and vice versa . But people

36:21.581 --> 36:23.803
who were in the spot in our Dakota open

36:23.803 --> 36:27.480
our C I tailored more to them on that .

36:27.490 --> 36:29.712
For those who are producers , that will

36:29.712 --> 36:31.934
require more production . Time was this

36:31.934 --> 36:34.046
is a B flat form because you're gonna

36:34.046 --> 36:36.390
want to keep it fresh as possible so

36:36.390 --> 36:38.501
that you keep your audience in tune .

36:38.501 --> 36:40.390
What's going on be that locally ,

36:40.390 --> 36:42.668
regionally and our policy wise problem .

36:42.668 --> 36:44.668
So it's gonna be a big endeavor for

36:44.668 --> 36:46.834
producers . You're gonna have a lot of

36:46.834 --> 36:48.446
opportunities to impact your

36:48.446 --> 36:50.334
communities locations like you do

36:50.334 --> 36:52.112
transmitted from Radio Teoh I p

36:52.112 --> 36:54.112
streaming . I guess that way . Ah ,

36:54.210 --> 36:56.266
hopefully that there may be a couple

36:56.266 --> 36:58.321
questions . Do you give me before we

36:58.321 --> 37:00.321
sign off ? No . No more questions .

37:00.810 --> 37:03.032
Okay . A couple shot out before we do .
