Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

One of the most visible signs of how President Donald Trump is trying to reshape the federal government is his call for federal employees to return to the office full-time. On his first day, Trump signed an executive order that called for an end to remote work and later that week, agencies were instructed to end their telework policies.

The Trump administration is offering what amounts to buyouts for federal workers who don’t want to return to the office as part of the president’s breakneck efforts to reshape the government in his second term.

The Trump administration has said that just 6% of federal employees now work in person. But according to an August report from the Office of Management and Budget, among federal workers eligible for telework — and excluding those who are fully remote — roughly 61% of work hours are now in person.

Employees have until Feb. 6 to decide whether to take the buyouts offered by OPM or return to the office— in most cases, five days a week.

Employees who take the offer won’t have to return to the office five days a week, but whether they’ll be called upon to work is unclear.

The Trump administration is offering eight-month "deferred resignation" offers to federal workers who do not wish to return to the office, provided they resign within the next week, according to a White House memo.
