Global Affairs Delays 4-Day Office Mandate for some Workers Due to Lack of Office Space
The department cites limited office space as it delays the federal four-day rule for most unionized staff and keeps the change open-ended.
- Most Global Affairs Canada employees will remain on a three-day in-office schedule instead of moving to four days this summer due to insufficient office space.
- The Treasury Board Secretariat announced earlier this year that federal employees must work on-site four days weekly starting July 6, but a multi-year renovation project limits workspace availability at Global Affairs.
- Public service executives must still report on-site five days weekly beginning May 4, while managers and assistant directors will phase into a four-day requirement between July 6 and September 15.
- The Public Service Alliance of Canada called the situation a "logistical mess," noting that starting September 15, at least one of the three required in-office days must be a Monday or Friday.
- Global Affairs will maintain this plan until "sufficient workspace" becomes available, though no date has been specified for when unionized staff will transition to the four-day requirement.
