Ontario public servants will be required to return to the office full time, with employees going in-person five days a week by January 2026, the government announced Thursday.
Treasury Board President Caroline Mulroney said in a press release that the province has been monitoring in-workplace standards across the public and private sectors, and the decision "represents the current workforce landscape."
She said employees who have been going into the office for a minimum of three days a week will increase their attendance to four days a week starting on Oct. 20. with a gradual transition to five days a week in the office by Jan. 5, 2026.
