Gov. Glenn Youngkin wants state employees back in their offices under a new telework policy that will take effect July 5 to guide executive branch agencies out of workplace restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new policy, announced on Thursday will let state agencies determine which jobs will be eligible for remote work and how often employees will be allowed to perform their duties outside of their government offices.

Under the new policy, 55,000 employees in 65 executive branch agencies will be able to request to work some days remotely under agreements negotiated with their supervisors and adopted by June 30. Employees will be able to apply for telework agreements beginning Friday.

"We know that creative, innovative, and effective solutions for all Virginians occur with regular, in-person interaction by our incredible workforce here in the commonwealth," the governor stated. "Embarking on a new path that values innovation and teamwork, we are updating Virginia's telework policy for the first time in more than a decade."
