Alright...I found it all...I won't attached RESPERMAN as it's pretty big, but I can if you guys really want it. It references the 1009 anyway, so I think me parapharsing a few things should suffice:
From the RESPERMAN (replaces the 1001.5) definition of IDT: a. All drills shall be approved and scheduled in Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) prior to execution. b. Inactive Duty Training (IDT) include Additional IDTs, Inactive Duty Training Travel (IDTT), Flexible (FLEX) IDTs, Incremental IDTs, Telework and the Training in Medical Specialty (TMS)/Hospital Corpsman to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (HM to BSN)/Critical Shortage Specialties (CSS) FLEX IDT option. These IDTs shall be approved by the Unit Commanding Officer (CO) or designated representative prior to execution. c. Inactive Duty include Funeral Honors Duty (FHD). FHD shall be approved by the Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) CO.
Additional IDT is defined: a. Reference (a) establishes policy for authorizing and scheduling additional IDT periods. There are three types of Additional IDT periods (i.e. Additional Training Periods (ATPs), Additional Flying and Flight Training Periods (AFTPs), Readiness Management Periods (RMPs)). Additional IDT periods provide individuals and units the opportunity to achieve and maintain required mobilization readiness levels when 48 regular IDT periods are not enough to meet training objectives.
So telework is a separate category from additional IDT.
The RESPERMAN goes on to: 4. Telework. Telework IDTs will be administered per reference (d). a. Participants must meet all administrative and medical requirements to be eligible to perform Telework IDT. b. Participants may be required by the command or agency they are supporting to complete a separate statement of understanding or work agreement. c. Unit COs shall ensure all approved Telework packages are routed to the Telework Coordinators of the supported command and applicable NRA (administrative command). d. A member who has been authorized to perform drills via Telework must perform at least two IDTs per quarter at the supporting NRA to ensure completion of administrative requirements.
Telework is also mentioned as part of the Flex Drill option.
And finally, I attached "reference d" 1009 Telework Instruction.
I left out a few things from RESPERMAN, but I think this should suffice...it's lengthy.
Bottom line: It's "kosher"...LOL! You can do it and get paid as part of your 48. My unit does it...we completed the training, filled out the forms and got it signed off by our OSO. Honestly, it's really no less kosher than someone who shows up for muster and disappears until the end of the weekend until the final muster!
