Federal employees who work in the Washington, D.C., area will still get the day off work for the presidential inauguration, even as many of them continue to work from home, according to a memo<\/a> issued by Office of Personnel Management acting Director Michael Rigas Dec. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memo stipulates that to qualify for a Jan. 20 holiday, feds\u2019 normal duty stations must be located in the District of Columbia, Montgomery and Prince George\u2019s Counties in Maryland, Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia, and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church in Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those employees who have continued or are scheduled to work in the office during that time, the Inauguration Day holiday will proceed as normal, but OPM had to modify some of the rules for those feds who have been teleworking due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
