Newsom’s executive order requires that state agencies and departments under his authority that offer telework as an option to their employees soon change their policies and require that their employees work a minimum of four in-person days per work week, although case-by-case exceptions will be considered.

State workers are already showing signs of resistance to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's new mandate to return to the office at least four days per week beginning July 1.
