Federal agencies must revise telework policies, mandating employees return to their duty stations full-time unless they qualify for exceptions due to disabilities or other compelling reasons. Each agency must comply within 30 days. The Office of Personnel Management emphasizes the need for a centralized return-to-office policy, as previous efforts by individual agencies have failed. The Department of Homeland Security has already directed employees to report to work in person, while the State Department plans to end most telework soon. Exceptions may be negotiated under existing union contracts.
The only way to get employees back to the office is to adopt a centralized policy requiring return-to-work for all agencies across the federal government.
The Department of Homeland Security this week ordered all employees to begin working in person, barring certain situations such as physical inability orlack of adequate office space.
