For months, many agencies have told employees that the return-to-office memo overrides everything. An arbitrator just ruled that’s not how the law works when a collective bargaining agreement is in place. In an HHS case, telework and remote work protections had to be reinstated because management terminated them without legal authority under the contract. This doesn’t guarantee telework for everyone, but it does confirm that agencies can’t ignore negotiated rights. This is general information, not legal advice—every situation turns on specific facts and contract language. Share this with a coworker who’s been told “the memo controls,” and follow to stay informed.
