Bill > HB06415

This bill mandates that all full-time state employees must physically return to their workplace and work in-office or onsite for a minimum of five days each week. If an employee fails to meet this in-person work requirement, the legislation stipulates that their daily salary will be reduced by 20 percent. The bill aims to effectively end remote or hybrid work arrangements for state government employees by requiring a full-time, five-day in-office presence. By implementing this salary reduction penalty, the bill creates a strong financial incentive for employees to comply with the mandatory in-person work requirement. The proposed change would be made to title 5 of the general statutes, signaling a significant shift in state employment policies that moves away from the flexible work arrangements that became common during the COVID-19 pandemic.
