At the beginning of the year, the Justice Department initiated a return-to-office policy requiring much of its workforce to be present in person for up to six days per pay period or about three days per week.
I hate how they always act like every federal agency just coincidentally decided to return to all at the same time…
Biden told all the federal agencies to return minimum 4/
weekpayperiodAnd it’s been a good damn shit show everywhere.
Do you have a source for that? The link in this article says OMB first requested plans in 2023 but no mandated amount and then the new White House email in January this year said "50% in-person goal” which would be 2.5 per week or 5 days per 2 week period. Just curious. I’d believe it since he’s an old guard type but can’t find any quotes to that effect. Labor department itself in January only said 2 days per pay period.
All agencies have to do minimum 2 days, a few did more. I just realized I fucked up and put 4/week tho, it’s 2/wee or 4/pay period.
It’s not like I can point to a source tho, just the scuttlebutt.
To get out of it you have to get some medical paperwork, which is what a lot are doing, or going to a new agency for a remote position even if you live in local commuting area
No no 4ish/pay period is what I saw too. All good. It should be none; this is a stupid old person plan but whatever.
