Federal agencies have been directed to submit detailed return-to-office implementation plans for their workforce, according to a Monday memo implementing President Donald Trump’s order for federal employees to return to in-person work.
The memorandum, issued jointly on Jan. 27 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), lays out specific requirements for agencies to develop comprehensive strategies to ensure compliance with Trump’s Jan. 20 presidential memorandum (PM) requiring agency heads to terminate remote work arrangements, with limited exceptions.
