The federal government expects its employees to return to in-office work for a minimum of four days a week starting this July.
A letter posted on the Treasury Board of Canada’s website says it “will be engaging with bargaining agents to seek their input on implementing this plan.”
Government executives will be returning to the office for the full five days starting in early May, the letter said.
Civil servants currently only have to come into the office three days a week — a rule that was put in place in September 2024 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The move follows a mandatory full-time return to the office for Ontario and Alberta public servants in effect since last month. The City of Ottawa also has a similar measure in place.
