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means many federal employees may lose their ability to work from home, and their current telework agreements will be superseded by these older, potentially more restrictive rules. The goal is to return to a traditional office-based work model.
Key points
Federal agencies must restore telework policies from late 2019 within 60 days of the act's enactment.
These reinstated telework policies will override any conflicting existing telework or collective bargaining agreements.
The changes could impact the daily lives of thousands of federal employees, requiring them to return to physical offices.
