The Office of Personal Management gives the remote and teleparters an ultimatum that are more than 50 miles from the office.

In this scenario, OPM directs the employees to either return to the office, agree to a “management-oriented re-assignment” and to move to another geographical region in office space or to accept the termination from their jobs.

According to the presentation films, which are shared with the Federal News Network, these are the options that employees receive more than 50 miles from their OPM facility in a memo “Direct Direct Direct Direct Refrictment”.

OPM gives employees until Friday, March 7, to answer.

“Employees who accept moving lawyers have a reasonable time to move and report in personal work in an OPM facility,” says one of the films.

Federal News Network turned to OPM to get a comment.

According to the presentation, OPM employees who work from a distance can remove the new assignment directed by the management, but with the understanding of their choice, “to terminate procedures” will lead.

“If you decide not to accept this re -assigned re -assignment to a new geographical location, your options for continued employment with this agency can be limited, and the agency can pursue a negative measure against you,” says one of the slides.

The presentation states that OPM is currently working on a violation of violence.

“All RIF measures are taken before making moving packages available to their employees.”

According to the presentation, OPM employees with their supervisor can request an exemption for the declines to office plans. Exceptions are due until March 7.

It is expected that the return to OPM’s Office plans will have a significant impact on its workforce. An OPM employee informed the Federal New News Network that around 40% of the agency’s workforce is currently working remotely.

“We have a much higher long -distance worker population because unique skills are required,” said the OPM employee.

The incumbent director of OPM, Charles Ezell, wrote in an email last month that the employee of teleworking and remote workers’ AB will report full-time on site.

Ezell told employees that OPM would grant employees with disabilities, qualified illnesses or other “mandatory reasons”.

In the email last month, OPM identified nine locations as departments with “potential capacity” so that the current agency employees were able to work full-time on site.

The locations included OPM’s headquarters in Washington, DC and agency offices in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas and Virginia.

In his email last month, Ezell said that OPM checked its facilities to determine how much space is available for all employees to work on site.

According to Ezell, OPM works with the General Services Administration on the availability of additional space.

President Donald Trump signed a memo on his first day of office, in which she cited all federal employees to return to the office full -time.
