In response to Governor Lombardo's recent executive order that removed telework options for state employees, effective July 1, 2023; we are asking that supporters of and State Employees sign the petition to keep the flexibilities to ensure that state businesses operate to meet the public's needs as well as state employees meeting the needs of their own families.

State employees carried Nevada through the pandemic-both through in-person services and through remote work. With more than 24% of state positions left unfilled, it would be in the state's best interest to find opportunities, like flexible work options, that would bolster staff retention and recruitment. To be a competitive employer, the state must adapt to changing workforce by allowing workers more discretion in how and where their work is accomplished. Every state agency should be evaluated to determine if telework is suitable for that agency it should not be a one size fits all for state employees. Nevada citizens could save millions of dollars in  tax payer money by providing these accommodations to state employees.
