Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order requiring all state agencies in California to implement a minimum of four in-person workdays each week starting July 1. This move, inspired in part by President Trump's similar policies, is intended to bolster collaboration and accountability among public employees. While some flexibility will be allowed on a case-by-case basis, the order signifies a push against labor unions' resistance to reduced telework options. Currently, about 95,000 state employees are either working remotely or in hybrid roles, prompting concerns over potential legal challenges to this mandate.
Gavin Newsom's executive order mandates a minimum of four in-person workdays for state agencies, emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and accountability for improved service and results.
This back-to-office mandate comes at a point where many state and private sector employees are already being called back to the workplace amid ongoing remote work debates.
