Effective January 5, 2026, the Ontario Public Service and its provincial agencies, boards and commission public bodies will return to the office full time.
The government has been closely monitoring the evolution of in-workplace standards for public and private sector organizations.
The return to a five days per week in-workplace standard represents the current workforce landscape in the province and it reinforces our commitment to reflecting the people and businesses we serve across Ontario.
Based on the nature of their work, over half of the Ontario Public Service are already required to attend the workplace full time.
Starting on October 20, 2025, employees who have been attending the workplace for a minimum of three days per week will increase their attendance to four days per week as part of a gradual transition period to the full time in-office standard effective January 5, 2026.
