California brings state employees back to office for 4 days a week

• California forces state employees to return to the office four days a week from July.
• This decision is aligned with a mandate from the White House so that federal workers return full -time.
• Companies like Amazon and JPMorgan also need work in person, ending remote policies.

California requires that most state employees enter the office at least four days a week by July 1.

Governor’s office Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the state employs 224,000 full -time workers and that more than half had returned to current daily work.

“When we work together, collaboration improves, innovation prosperous and increasing responsibility,” said Newson in a statement on Monday.

The announcement said that teleworking would be granted on a case -by -case basis, including for employees who do not live near their offices.

The order follows a wider mandate of the White House to return federal workers full time to the office. States, including Ohio and Virginia, demand that their employees work in person, ending the Pandemic Age telework policies.

Likewise, companies such as Amazon, Jpmorgan and Salesforce have forced their employees to return to work in person.
