One of the most visible signs of how President Donald Trump is trying to reshape the federal government is his call for federal employees to return to the office full-time. On his first day, Trump signed an executive order that called for an end to remote work and later that week, agencies were instructed to end their telework policies.

The Trump administration is offering what amounts to buyouts for federal workers who don’t want to return to the office as part of the president’s breakneck efforts to reshape the government in his second term.

The White House’s plan to offer “deferred resignations” that pay departing federal employees their salary through Sept. 30 will likely run afoul of rules governing buyout payments.

President Donald Trump is offering federal employees the opportunity to accept a buyout and resign if they don't wish to return to in-person work.

The Trump administration says it is offering buyouts to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by next week — an unprecedented move to shrink the U.S. government at breakneck speed
