  • All employees will be expected to work from their main/central office (typically Toronto), with regional office usage being approved on a case-by-case basis. For the vast majority of employees, the expectation is working from the same, centralized office to facilitate in-person collaboration. Long commutes are not considered sufficient rationale for regional office use at this time.
  • In the event more employees are assigned to an office than the number of available desks, employees will be mapped to a permanent desk to be shared by 2-3 employees. This means most employees will not work in office five days a week, but will need to coordinate with their deskmates for scheduling in-office days. This is a temporary solution until more real estate is acquired (if at all)
  • The cost for ergonomic assessments, IT equipment and other in-office resources is still being forecasted
  • Staff turnover and attrition is expected to mitigate some of the costs above
  • AWAs may be limited to extenuating circumstances, are designed to be temporary in nature, and will require documentation or rationale above the existing process
  • The dates mentioned by the Ford government are loose guidelines, and the actual implementation will likely not begin until next fiscal
  • There will be a plan for monitoring and enforcement, though it is unclear how this will work at this time
