Return to Office: Federal Agencies to Revert to Pre-Pandemic Telework Policies.
This act mandates federal agencies to reinstate telework policies that were in place on December 31, 2019. This means federal employees might lose their ability to work from home if their agency did not offer such an option or had stricter rules before the pandemic. The new rules will override existing employment agreements.
