COLA rates for remote work.

I know this isn’t going to be a popular post and before anyone jumps down my throat, I am all for remote work.

The question??? How are COLA rates determined for remote workers? Are they determined by the employees home office location or the employees residence?

I never had the luxury of remote work; however, I do see an issue, if someone is getting DC locality rate and living and working from a location like under the Rest of U.S. locality areas.

What is everyone’s thoughts on this and let’s have an honest, heartfelt conversation.
