A policy document that allegedly hasn't been shared with the workforce in its entirety states that all requests for remote work, telework, or reassignment must now be approved by an official at the assistant secretary level or above. In the past, approvals had to be signed by Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Chief Human Capital Officer, Thomas J. Nagy Jr. In addition, the new policy bans granting telework as a temporary accommodation without approval from an official at the same level.

In a normal situation, paying employees not to work would be considered operating a 'ghost payroll,' although the CTA was just trying to make the best of it.
