The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5369, seeks to amend title 5 of the general statutes to grant commissioners of state agencies the authority to implement policies requiring employees to work on-site or in person. Specifically, the bill allows for a policy that mandates employees to work in person for up to sixty percent of their scheduled work hours.
This legislative change aims to facilitate a return to in-person work within state agencies, reflecting a shift in workplace policy that may enhance collaboration and productivity among employees. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the new insertion that empowers agency commissioners to establish these work requirements.
