Federal agencies are stepping up monitoring of on-site attendance, as highlighted in a recent FedWeek article. While this shift may seem like a minor policy update, it could have ripple effects on federal employees’ long-term retirement planning.
How Attendance Policies Influence Retirement Readiness
Strict on-site requirements may affect work-life balance, stress levels, and even career longevity—factors that play a crucial role in retirement decisions. Federal employees must consider how workplace changes impact their:
- Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Contributions – Will increased commuting costs or schedule changes reduce your ability to max out TSP contributions?
- Federal Retirement Benefits – Early retirement considerations may shift if workplace flexibility decreases.
- Health and Well-being – Stress from rigid schedules can influence when employees choose to retire.
