Summary
On January 20, 2025, the President issued a memorandum directing all executive branch departments and agencies to end remote work and require employees to return to full-time, in-person work. This move, aimed at restoring traditional office dynamics, allows department heads to make necessary exemptions and must comply with existing laws. The decision may face legal challenges or political pushback, particularly from those advocating for flexible work arrangements, but it signifies a significant shift in federal workplace policy post-pandemic.
