The State Department has already begun to implement the president’s memo cancelling telework agreements as of March 1 and remote work arrangements July 1, with exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities.

Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

The Trump administration has said that just 6% of federal employees now work in person. But according to an August report from the Office of Management and Budget, among federal workers eligible for telework — and excluding those who are fully remote — roughly 61% of work hours are now in person.

Agencies should require workers to comply within roughly 30 days of the policy announcement, the White House Office of Personnel Management says.

Donald Trump said during the campaign that he'd fire federal workers who won't return to the office and also challenge a Biden-era deal on the issue.

Directives to end WFH arrangements are leaving some federal employees confused and scrambling to rework their lives. Why it matters: The clock has started. Following President Trump's orders, the Office of Personal Management (OPM) gave federal workers roughly a month's heads-up to be back in the office full-time.
