Federal public servants required to be in office four days a week as of July
Executives must work onsite five days weekly starting May 4, while others must be onsite four days weekly from July 6, aiming to boost workplace presence after pandemic shifts.
- On Feb. 5, 2026 the federal government ordered public servants to return to the office at least four days a week in a letter signed by Bill Matthews, Jacqueline Bogden and Francis Trudel.
- Before the change, public servants were required to work three days weekly while executives faced stricter office expectations; the move follows the Ontario government and City of Ottawa returning workers full-time on Jan. 1.
- Implementation details show staggered dates for executives and staff, and the Treasury Board says executives must work on-site five days per week starting May 4 while all other employees face new requirements effective July 6, with consultations planned with unions.
- Public Services and Procurement Canada will work closely to ensure adequate office space as many rush-hour commuters use Tunney's Pasture LRT station.
- The directive targets the core public administration and the government strongly urges separate agencies to adopt similar measures, noting onsite work is essential and more details will follow `in due course`.
