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 that mandate employees to work on-site or in person. Specifically, the bill allows for a requirement that employees work in person for up to sixty percent of their scheduled work hours.
This legislation aims to formalize the ability of state agencies to establish in-person work policies, reflecting a shift towards more traditional work environments following the increased prevalence of remote work arrangements. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions to facilitate this change in work policy.
