AI Summary

This bill, the Having Employees Return to Duty Act (HERD Act), aims to address federal employees who have complied with Executive Order 14043, which requires COVID-19 vaccination for federal employees. The bill requires that these "covered employees" return to their pre-pandemic duty stations and work hours, with some exceptions. Newly hired employees would be required to work the duty station and hours of the individual who previously held their position. Agency heads can implement different policies if there is substantial COVID-19 transmission in the community or if the employee is immunocompromised. The bill applies to most federal agencies, excluding the Department of Defense.
