California state workers are being ordered to return to the office, according to a memo sent from the office of Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Ann Patterson, Newsom’s cabinet secretary issued a memo to top officials in California directing state employees to start working from the office again starting on June 17, according to Politico. State employees will be required to work in the office twice a week.
The announcement comes after various state agencies migrated to a work-from-home policy at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to more than 100 state agencies and departments setting their own work-related policies for the roughly 240,000 employees, there was a lot of “confusion” regarding the “expectations” of workers, Patterson wrote in the memo.
