"to the fullest extent possible"
"The intent is absolutely to establish a state policy that flexible telework can and should be provided to state employees, because it serves state government, it serves taxpayers, and it certainly serves state employees,"
The Professional Engineers in California Government union and Assemblymember Alex Lee proposed legislation requiring state agencies to offer work-from-home options to the fullest extent possible and to provide written justifications when in-person attendance is required. The bill would require a state dashboard documenting annual savings from remote work, restoring reporting that the Department of General Services stopped in 2024. The union represents over 15,000 state engineers, many at Caltrans and environmental agencies. As of 2024, half of state workers were eligible for remote work and 74% of eligible workers preferred telework. Governor Gavin Newsom ordered most state employees back to the office four days a week, with implementation delayed to July after union bargaining.
