Sen. Mitt Romney and Joe Manchin's Back to Work Act of 2024 seeks to limit federal telework to 40% per pay period, citing productivity concerns.
In 2023, the GAO reported that 17 of 24 federal agency headquarters were operating at an average capacity 25% less than pre-pandemic, fueling calls for a return to office.
The OPM's guidance promotes flexible remote work arrangements, arguing they can enhance recruitment and employee satisfaction when thoughtfully applied to meet agency needs.
OPM Acting Director Rob Shriver emphasizes that while remote work suits some roles, it must be tailored to achieve optimal productivity and engagement.
