Agri-Pulse reports:

The new administration has set deadlines for many USDA employees to be in the office five days a week. Senior leaders, including those in the senior executive service, must be on site every day starting Monday, according to a memo obtained by Agri-Pulse. Managers and supervisors who have assigned duty stations and a desk at a USDA office must be in the office full time starting Feb. 10.

Employees on telework agreements in the national capital region must return to office full time by Feb. 18, assuming they’re not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Additional guidance is coming for other workers, the memo says.
