Bill > HB05705

This bill proposes to amend title 5 of the general statutes to establish new limitations on remote work for state employees, regardless of existing collective bargaining or arbitration agreements. Specifically, the bill would restrict remote work to a maximum of 40% of an employee's work week and empower state agency commissioners to deny remote work arrangements for positions where working remotely would be incompatible with the job's specific duties or the agency's operational requirements. By providing agency heads with discretion to evaluate remote work feasibility on a role-by-role basis, the legislation aims to ensure that state government operations remain efficient and that employees are physically present and engaged to the extent necessary to fulfill their job responsibilities effectively.
