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.

Donald Trump's executive order mandates federal employees return to the office for work, sparking frustration for some workers.

The Trump administration offered federal workers the chance to take a "deferred resignation" with a severance package of roughly eight months of pay and benefits.

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.
