The Office of Personnel Management is teeing up guidance as it looks to a future where more feds work remotely under a pay system not necessarily designed for large numbers of workers’ homes and office locations to be separated by the substantial physical distances that technology enables.
The personnel office is working through what potential changes may be needed in regards to locality pay and remote work policies in the post-pandemic era, an OPM official said at an event hosted by ACT-IAC on Thursday.
“There’s a lot of meat on the bone for us there,” said Rob Shriver, the associate director for employee services at OPM. “We’re currently working through that, and I think that we will have some guidance in the first round of guidance that we get out.”

Joe Biden’s transition team had no illusions about the chaos they were inheriting from President Donald Trump. They expected a disorganized government and mismanaged agencies, many of them hollowed out and ignored over the past four years.
Trump is someone who misunderstood the purpose of the career workforce, who went to war with his own [government] . with the public s workforce, said Max Stier, president and chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that studies the federal government. He s done enormous damage. Now, Biden has a long list of damage to undo. At the top are actions that can be done with a pen stroke. Biden can immediately reverse three Trump executive orders from 2018 that sharply curtailed the ability of organised labour to represent employees, including those who are not union members, and allowed agencies to fire feds faster.
