Starting January 5, 2024, Ontario provincial government employees will be required to return to the office full-time, with Alberta following suit in February.

Federal public servants currently work a minimum of three days in-office, with a clearer plan expected soon from Prime Minister Mark Carney. Unions are pushing back against these mandates, citing employee preferences for remote work flexibility.
