Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will require most state employees to work in the office five days a week, a departure from policies in place since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
All employees will be expected to return to in-person work full-time by July 5, unless they’ve been granted an exception for health or other reasons.
Many Virginia employees have been allowed to telework since early 2020, when fears of the coronavirus shuttered public and private workplaces across the country.Youngkin built his successful campaign for governor last year partly on the premise that Democrats had gone overboard with pandemic shutdowns and restrictions, including the extended closure of schools and the suspension of walk-in services at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
But his action on remote work is not out of step with more liberal jurisdictions nearby. Public employees in Maryland and D.C. have been back to in-person work since July.
