Local Government Employees to Work Remotely Until 2021
Governing: Officials of King County, Wash., announced late last month that mandatory telecommuting would be extended for many local government workers through the end of the year. Thousands of eligible workers in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, the cities of Everett, Kenmore, Redmond, Seattle, Shoreline and Tacoma and the Ports of Seattle and Everett will continue to work remotely until Jan. 8, 2021. King County and the city of Seattle, alone, employ approximately 12,000 workers that are eligible to work from home.
King County Executive Dow Constantine explained, “We’ve learned a lot about our ability to adapt and respond amid this pandemic, and by taking a regional approach to telework, we can continue to meet the needs of residents, maximize physical distancing for people who need to report to work in person, and further stem the spread of COVID-19.”
