City of Oakland to Bring Employees Back to Office

Oakland's employees are being called back to city hall.  Starting February 18, all unrepresented department directors, deputy directors, managers and supervisors will be expected to come into the office four days a week, and starting April 7, all other city employees are expected to do the same, according to a letter the city administrator recently sent to labor leadership last week that was obtained by the Business Times.  The letter, which was shared with the city's elected offices on Monday, also said the city intends to discontinue its telecommuting work program it established during the pandemic.

Oakland City Attorney Ryan Richardson told the more than 900 people in the audience at the San Francisco Business Times' annual Mayors' Economic Forecast Wednesday morning that the city was “exploring” requiring its city employees to work from the office more than they are currently.

“For the city of Oakland — which, we're not the biggest employer downtown, but we're not an insignificant employer, either — we're exploring having people return to the office more than they have been, and I think that's a trend that I want to see,” Richardson said.
