Farmington Hills, MI, December 15, 2010 – On Thursday, December 4, 2010 President Obama signed the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 into law requiring government agencies to establish formal telework policies and procedures for enabling federal employees to work from home.Logicalis (www.us.logicalis.com), an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services, applauds the President and Congress for establishing this important law. “Logicalis is a strong advocate of expanding the capability for workers in both government and private industry sectors to telework,” said Greg Baker, CFO at Logicalis.
