Federal public servants will begin returning to office buildings in Ottawa and Gatineau today, as the federal government begins phasing in a return-to-office plan.
Starting today, federal employees in the core public service who are working from home will be required to begin the transition back to in-person work, with a requirement of being in the office at least two to three days a week.
"In my opinion, the workplace is not ready for that," Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada president Jennifer Carr told CTV National News on Sunday. "I don't believe that the Treasury Board took into consideration the logistics that are required for returning to the workplace." The Public Service Alliance of Canada announced in December that it would file a complaint with the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board over the government's return-to-office plan. Carr tells CTV News PIPSC launched a "freeze complaint" with the labour board on Friday over the return-to-office plan.that any repercussions for public workers who won't go back to the office would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
