According to a Trump administration official, federal workers who are reluctant to return to the office will have the option to accept buyouts starting Tuesday. This decision comes as the administration has directed federal employees, many of whom had been working remotely due to the pandemic, to resume in-person work.
Employees who choose to take the buyout offer will be required to resign by February 6. In return, they will receive severance pay that will be provided until September 30. The official also mentioned that the heads of federal agencies were informed about this development within the last day.
