Patent Examiners,
Since changes to the telework law now require you to be telework ready, if you are on PTP20 with ERA fob, you may want to switch to PTP32. PTP32 provides these additional telework flexibilities of: 12 more hours, better equipment (if you want it) and the opportunity to telework partial days. And now that you have to be telework ready anyway, why not take advantage? All you have to do is go here and request the change. You might as well get the most out of PTP!
