Minnesota's governor mandates state employees work in-person half the time, starting June 1st.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced that state employees must work in-person at least 50% of their scheduled workdays starting June 1st. This policy aims to balance remote work flexibility with in-person collaboration benefits and supports the economic revitalization of office districts. About 60% of state employees already work in-person, and those living over 75 miles from their office are exempt. The move follows similar policies by other major employers and governments.
