The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has mandated federal agencies to halt telework and remote work initiatives, enforcing a 30-day compliance deadline with President Trump's directive for employees to return to in-person work full-time. Confusion over the memo, particularly regarding definitions of telework versus remote work, has surfaced among agencies. Acting OPM Director Charles Ezell confirmed that exceptions could be made for employees with disabilities or other certifiable needs, but there remains a lack of clarity about the specifics of these requirements, as noted by several experts in the field.
Acting OPM Director Charles Ezell instructed agencies to revise their telework policies to ensure employees return to in-person work full time within 30 days.
Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, stated, 'We don't have a lot of clarity about what exactly they mean here, especially on the return to office.'
