Bill > HR107

This bill, known as the "Return to Work Act," requires all Executive agencies to reinstate their telework (remote work) policies that were in effect on December 31, 2019, within 60 days of the bill's enactment. The bill mandates that these reinstated telework policies will take precedence over any conflicting provisions in existing teleworking, collective bargaining, or other employment agreements. The legislation defines key terms, including "Executive agency" (as defined in Title 5, Section 105 of the U.S. Code), "reinstated telework policy" (specifically the remote work policies in place on December 31, 2019), and "telework" (as defined in Title 5, Section 6501). This bill appears to be an effort to roll back remote work policies that were likely expanded or modified during the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively returning federal agencies to their pre-pandemic telework arrangements.
