Restoring In-Person Work at Federal Agencies to Pre-Pandemic Levels

This act aims to bring federal agency employees back to in-person work levels seen before the pandemic. It means federal workers will likely spend more time in offices, and agencies will need to justify any plans to expand remote work. This could impact daily commutes and work flexibility for thousands of public sector employees.
Key points
Federal agencies must revert telework policies to 2019 levels within 30 days of the act's enactment.
Any expansion of telework beyond pre-pandemic levels requires a study, a plan, and certification from the Office of Personnel Management Director and submission to Congress.
The act seeks to reduce costs related to underutilized real estate and potentially misclassified locality pay for teleworking employees.
