The Social Security Administration announced Monday that the agencies\u2019 managerial corps will be required to work in-person four times per two-week pay period, starting in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson confirmed the announcement applies only to senior executives effective Oct. 2 and managers and supervisors with a headquarters duty station on Nov. 6. The agency did not elaborate on why that decision was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 80% of SSA employees are considered non-supervisory, according to federal employment data from 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisory employees are generally excluded from union bargaining units, but for the rest of the workforce, eligibility for telework was preserved in the newly signed labor agreement <\/a>between the American Federation of Government Employees and the agency\u2019s 42,000 covered employees, which says nothing about how many remote workdays are permitted. Policies for other agency employees could still change.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
