OTTAWA — Federal public servants will have to work from their offices at least three days a week as of Sept. 9.

The new rules also stipulate that executives will have to be in the office at least four days a week. 

The Treasury Board of Canada says the new rules are being put in place due to the benefits of interacting in-person in a “consistent” way. 

It also says the new requirement is meant to bring more fairness and consistency to how the hybrid work model is applied. 

Previously, most federal public servants had to be in the office at least two days a week.
