No RTO Act

# No RTO Act Summary The **No RTO Act** (S 1604) is a bill introduced by Senator Josh Hawley that would restrict companies' ability to require employees to return to physical office locations. "RTO" stands for "return to office." If passed, this legislation would prevent employers from mandating that remote workers come back to work in-person, protecting employees' right to continue working from home. The bill would primarily affect workers and employers in the private sector who have shifted to remote or hybrid work arrangements. Key provisions of the bill would likely establish protections for remote workers and limit employer authority to impose return-to-office mandates.

This would affect millions of American workers who transitioned to remote work during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and wish to maintain that flexibility. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. At this stage, it remains under consideration and discussion within the relevant congressional committee before any further action can be taken.
