President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday imposing a hiring freeze and ending remote work for federal government employees.
“Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of Government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at their respective duty stations on a full-time basis,” the orders states. Department and agency heads will be allowed to “make exemptions they deem necessary,” the order added.
