State of Arizona return to office policyEach team decides.

What the policy says.

• ADOA policy (revised Dec 2, 2020): remote work is a management option, not an employee right, and an agency may end an agreement at its discretion.
• Fiscal note: 15,909 employees in the ADOA personnel system worked remotely full or part time as of Dec 31, 2024.
• ADOA estimates remote work saves about $32 million a year in rent plus $58.6 million in deferred maintenance since FY2021, and says a full return would need about 1.5 million square feet of extra space.
• Legislature records: the Senate passed SB 1237 on Feb 27, 2025 and the House took it up in Committee of the Whole on Apr 2, 2025. No final House vote or governor action is recorded.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.

The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
