Bill > HB05369

This bill allows the commissioner of any state agency to establish a work policy requiring employees to work on-site or in person for up to 60% of their scheduled work hours. The legislation provides state agencies with the flexibility to mandate in-person work, which represents a shift from more flexible remote work arrangements that became common during the COVID-19 pandemic. By setting a cap at 60% of scheduled hours, the bill ensures that employees still have some potential for remote or hybrid work options while giving agency leaders more control over workplace attendance. The bill amends title 5 of the general statutes to explicitly grant this authority to state agency commissioners, providing a clear legal framework for implementing in-person work requirements across different government departments.
